Excerpt from Joint Conference of Those Interested in the Conservation and Development of the Natural Resources of Michigan: Held Under the Auspices of the Public Domain Commission; Representative Hall, Capitol, Lansing, Michigan, Wednesday, June 12, 1912
No one denies but that our game is rapidly disappearing. This is due naturally to two causes. Lands are rapidly being cut over and turned into farms or fires devastate them destroying the cover for game. There is one burned over district in the Upper Peninsula on what is the Fox River. This covers acres. It was formerly the finest pine. Hardly a deer can be found on these plains, while formerly there must have been many.

Today Mr. Charles Brewster tells us that one man in Missouri raises more deer yearly than the hunters of New Jersey kill during that time.

They were plentiful in this same forest. They had simply disappeared before the ever present woodsman with his gun, and West Virginia has not been without game laws.
