In addition to this it would seem that various families ofIndians, located in the vicinity, establish their winter hunting and trap-ping grounds within the confines of the reserve. It is, of course, not tobe expected that over so great an area, which has been placed in reserveonly comparatively recently and which is so difficult of access, theranging service and general arrangements should have been sufficientlyperfected, within the short space of time available, to prevent all illegaldepredations on the wild life in the reserve, but it would appear fromthe evidence obtained in the locality that the extent of these depreda-tions is in all probability very considerable and consequently that,unless something is done to check them in the near future, the game andfur-bearing resources of the reserve will be materially impaired. In fact,the reserve should be declared a game reserve
