It can definitely stand another
season like this past one, he said
when questioned about the tak
ing of either sex caribou. Be
tween three and four thousand
caribou were taken this past
year. From our studies we have
found that for the best manage
ment, the area where this herd
feeds should be supporting only
10 to 15 thousand head. The cari
bou calfing season was very good
Ibis year, with 60 to 70 percent
of the cows having calves. In spite
of the two caribou limit this year,
only about one half of the hunt
ers took two, increasing the total
take only about 25 percent. Of
these taken, about 72 percent
Were bulls. Sportsmen recom

.that along 1,000 miles of first
grade road there are about 50
heavily fished locations. Almost
all of the fishing pressure is
found on these locations, he said.
No changes were recommended
by the sportsmen, in regards to
increasing bag Limits. However,
they aid recommend that non
resident children, under 16 years
of age, be permitted to fish with
out a license, the same as resi
dent children. They recommend
ed that pike and immature sal
mon, under 16 inches in length,
be classified as sport fish, in

lations is expected soon, he said,
and will be publicized at that
time.
