Map of Angeles National Forest area destroyed by devastating forest fires during the fall of 1919. Severe injury to game was the natural result. first two, which are outside of, but adjoin- ing the Game Refuge, I saw numbers of dead rabbits, squirrels and mountain quail. Big Tujunga escaped total destruc- tion, as the flames did not crossi to the east side. No doubt most of the game escaped death by flame and smoke, but the destruc- tion of food will lead to widespread famine later. Fanned by a high wind that blew from the desert side toward the sea, the flames in places swept away every bit of vegetation. The game had no choice but to flee before the flames, toward the foothills, near the towns of San Fer- nando, Sunland, Monte Vista, Pasadena coming on of winter will make it hard for game to exist. The recent rains in Southern California fell at a very opportune time, and so gently as not to cause any erosion. Three weeks after the rain the burnt over hill- sides were becoming green. A feature of the destruction of covers for game must not be forgotten. Rabbits and quail, I found, are massing on patches of unburned territory. Overcrowding will result, and hunters will find it easy to kill most of the game in such places. A rancher at the mouth of the Little Tu- junga told me that hunters had killed sixty-eight rabbits in a forty-acre field.
