GAME AND FRESH WATER FISH i'i RESTOCKING Until just recently, the Commission's program of restocking has been mainly with quail and fresh water fish. Some ex- periments were carried on with wild guineas purchased from Cuba, and some chukars were purchased and liberated in Florida in an effort to propagate them here. These efforts met with little or no success. Since Florida is one of the few remaining states where the pure strain of the bronze wild tur- key is still found, the Commission feels that any effort to re- stock with turkeys brought into Florida might result in the loss of this pure strain. For this reason it was considered bet- ter to give proper protection to those turkeys remaining in the State rather than import them. A strict observation of the season and bag limit on turkey should take care of the situa- tion. Following the killing of deer by the State Live Stock Sanitary Board in connection with tick eradication work, it became necessary for the Commission to broaden its restocking program to include deer.
