Excerpt from Camp Fire Reminiscences: Or Tales of Hunting and Fishing in Canada and the West A few years ago, the West was teeming with game, but as there were no laws for its protection the industrious hide-hunter, and the settler, with his barbed wire, changed all that. Of late, how ever, stringent laws have been enacted and are be ing very well enforced. The withdrawal Of great tracts from settlement and their conservation as forest reserves has given the big game a new lease Of life, by providing sanctuaries, SO that poster ity may enjoy indefinitely the splendid fauna of the country. The lover of nature and the Sportsman owe much to him whose influence has ever been to protect what has been left.
