Excerpt from Louisiana Conservationist, Vol. 15: Louisiana Wild Life and Fisheries Commission; September-October, 1964 One of the basic findings of wildlife manage ment is that populations of small game are con trolled by quantity and quality of habitat rather than by fall hunting pressure. Also, small game populations have large annual turnovers, whether hunted or not. High population levels cannot be sustained in the face of deteriorating habitat conditions by merely curtailing hunting regula tions. Deer hunting is expected to be better than ever in most areas of Louisiana. This anticipated record bag of deer is not the result of chance or mere coincidence. On the contrary, it is the result of years of hard work and planning for future demands of the state's growing number of deer hunters. Deer herds, in general, have been greatly expanded over the state during the past 13 years. This expansion is a result of live-trapping and restocking programs. Deer have been placed in areas of good deer range which had no deer. The best success in Commission - sponsored restocking programs have occurred in areas where people have cooperated in protecting the growing deer herds. This cooperation has paid off in more hunter opportunity. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
