47 Bag Bison
At Big Delta
The Alaska Department of
Fish and Game announced today
that 47 permittees had been suc
cessful by Tuesday noon in the
state’s 1961 bison hunt. The re
maining three permit holders
were expected to bag animals
whenever they found time to
tively engage in the hunt.
Robert A. Rausch, regional
game management biologist in
charge of the hunt, stated that
he w'as pleased with the effect
the hunt was having on the ani
mals: they are considerably more
wary now, he said, than at the
beginning of the hunt on August
26, and no animals have yet been
reported on Delta Junction area
croplands. He explained that al
though the primary objective of
the hunt was to keep the herd
in balance with its food supply,
it was scheduled at such a time
and conducted in a manner calcu
lated to assist in protection of
homesteaders crops.
Rausch stated that the hunters
had been very cooperative about
helping the department realize
this objective. Records indicate,
he said, that in the past, the ani
mals entered the cropland area
by about mid-August. Most of the
crops will be harvested within
another three weeks, he said, and
if the department finds it
sary to do any herding- on. horse
back within that time to protect
the crops, the wariness induced
the activities, of the hunters
Will undoubtedly make the job
much simpler.
