Fig. 4. Jay Bruce, State Lion Hunter starts on a trip. Photograph by Mrs. J. Bruce. MOUNTAIN LION CONTROL. During the past two years state lion hunter Jay Bruce, secured sixty lions of which 34 were males, and 26 females. Of this number fourteen were animals less than a year old. Many of the lions (49 in all) were taken in or near game refuges, localities which are worked consistently because of the direct relation to deer conservation. It is believed that the total average lion population of the state has been reduced about 100 as a result of the activities of the state lion hunter. Complaints of the depredations of bears have been consistently investi- gated but no reliable evidence has been obtained that stock had been killed by them. However, frequently there is evidence that bears have fed upon stock killed by other predatory animals than bears. A complete summation of the lion bounties paid will be found in tlie appendix. FISH AND GAME PROTECTIVE ASSOCIATIONS. The staunchest kind of support for conservation measures comes from the twenty or more fish and game protective associations of the state. Could this favorable sentiment be unified in one great state organization the sportsman's interests could be better cared for. The Commission has been glad to lend support to these organizations and to receive suggestions from them. A plan is being evolved to C(>nter all of these protective in a central organization to be known as the California Conservation League, in an attemi)t to crystallize sentiment and avoid duplication of effort. 2—34744.
