EDITOR ASKS “WHOSE
DUCKS ARE DYING”
AS COLD WAVE HITS
(From Glenns Ferry Gazett)
There has been much comment
throughout Southern ¿dauo aoou,
the fact that large numbers of ducks
have starved to death outright, while
Others have met death because ot
being too weak to escape their en
emies.
There should be no such loss, but
who or what is to blame is the ques
tion. The cold weather and snow can
not be the whole reason, as tiiere is
less this winter, in this locality at
least. Local sportsmen are laying
the blame at the doer of the bi
ological survey department.
The ducks and geese are migratory
birds and as such, are under the jur
isdiction of that department, with
its governing head several thousand
miles away. The laws governing the
migratory bird shooting season are
made in Washingtoin, D. C., for sec
tions of country with pecularities of
their own and which will not prevail
in others.
The duck season in Southern Ida
ho the past season was over before
til. re were any but locally raised
ducks to shoot at. Ordinarily the
local ducks are the only ones here
until the first of December. The
northern ducks, and which are in
the vast majority, only move south
as the ccld stormy weather forces
them south from one section to
another. Eventually they came to
the Snake River valley where warm
water, pleasant weather and a
closed season invited them to stay.
Along comes heavy snows to cover
their feeding grounds. As a result
they soon become too weak to re
sume their journey southward.
It became a question of seeing
thousands die of hunger or the
sportsmen supplying the necesary
feed, the latter to be paid for by
someone. An appeal to the federal
department was met by an appro
priation of $300. Very magnanimous.
The sportsmen were urged to buy
lots of shells, go out along the rivers
and lakes and shoot—not at the
ducks, as that would be a violation
of the law—but in the air. The
suggestion was also made that no
more feed be put out. The theory
was that the birds (already dying
for lack of proper feed) would be
frightened and resume their inter
rupted trip to the southland.
There has been appropriated by
the Idaho legislature a large sum for
feed for the starving birds; local
sportsmen, both as organizations and
individuals, h a v e
given large
imounts of time and money and
grain to help save the ducks and
<eeoc that belong to the federal de-
artment.
The shooting season in Idaho
vas for only thirty days when
hunting was poor; shotguns were
cut to a three-shell capacity, and
the $1.00 stamp added, in an effor:
to build up the “crop.” Had the sea
son been made to allow shooting
when the greatest percentage of
birds were here, there would have
been more killed, but far less than
I'ave died of starvation, and others
forced on south.
Nothing can be dene this year to
repair the damage done, but the
sportsmen's organizations of Idaho
and adjoining states should take
the matter up with their state
Wildlife Federations and through
them, carry the matter to Washing
ton, and insist that the biological
survey take steps to prevent a re
currence of present conditions.

tinues the practice of making rules

collecting $1.00 besides as a propaga
tion tax. the same department should
be responsible for, or make some ef
fort at least to prevent, resurrence
of present conditions.
