Dr Teefthinks soHefeelsthat the lease system stimulates the production of wildlife The rancher is producing an additional product on his land and is receiving remuneration for - it “The economic value makes him want to have game on his ranch” the department head said The hunting rights to bobwhite ’ quail for example bring the landowner about $200 per acre Land with deer brings a return of about $300 per acre Add that to a livestock base of about $375 per acre and you see the rancher is definitely better off for the presence of game There are other assets The private system regulates hunter conduct Often the same hunters use the same areas for as much as 30 years The system promotes hunter safety becausethe hunters police themselves The careless hunter may not find a place to shoot t after the first year The lease system distributes hunting pressure Where there is game the hunter will pay to hunt Conversely where there is an absence of game he won’t bother Landowners control game On the negative side Dr Teer points to the system promoting an inadequate harvest The Game Department does surveys and makes recommendations but “the landownenHiave control and are conservative about how many animals may be taken” There is a problem in selling the idea of hunting doe deer — it is the killing of the golden goose to the rancher Bucks bring some more per head anyway So the sex ratio on deer is kustorted the ratio is about 1 buck per 10 does Teer feels it should be about $65 - one to three does The European system may well creep West “It will be a long time coming to the Mountain West Still you see signs of it p it Car Wash & Liquid Wax With An 8 Gallon Purchase Car Wash & Liquid Wax With This Coupon and 50c Finest Car Wash & Dry Facilities in Town FREE (COUPON) here with duck clubs springing up and ranchers charging for camping where they hold access to National Forests and other public lands” Dr Teer said TUDENT!
