Twenty-two miles of previously constructed access roads were maintained. Approximatel}- 1,350 acres of brush was control burned in small plots. In addition, department person- nel have activel}' participated in control burns initiated by the U. S. Forest Service. Plantings of shrubs and trees for benefiting game totaled 4,821. Seven hundred fifty acres of burned areas were seeded to herbaceous plants. Other miscel- laneous activities consisted of upland game brush pile construction and collection of seeds for planting de- ficient areas. Considerable effort was expended in surveying the pending land withdrawal areas for future habitat de- velopment work and access road sites. PREDATOR CONTROL Mountain lions bountied during the biennium totaled 330. Of these, 86 were bountied by the three state lion hunters and 244 by private individuals. The bounty is $50 per male and $60 per female lion. The department's predator control program was re- duced during the biennium. There are no longer any employees whose full time is devoted to trapping predators. Predator control now is strictly tied in with specific game management programs. For instance, predators are reduced on waterfowl management areas just prior to the nesting season. On these areas local management personnel trap predators as part of regular assigned duties. The old system of using full-time trappers was not producing sufficient game management benefits rela- tive to the incurred.
