Montana Fish and Game Commission; Game protection; Wildlife conservation; Fisheries. 1931 âBIENNIAL REPORT â1932 Page Fifteen GairMe l^awv ViolMaoes ^ed Arrests By J. W. Carney, Helena, Assistant State Game Warden. VIOLATIONS of Montana's fish and game laws during the biennium w h i c h has just closed have been held in check below the peak established in 1930, when 514 ari'ests were made by deputy state game wardens. Re- ports received at headquarters show that in 1931, 455 ar- rests were made by wardens while in 1932 the figure in- creased to 45S. The top mark established J. W. Carr 1930 was the largest total of viola- tions recorded in the 20 years since this information was tabulated in the department. Analysis of statistics shows that the largest number of violations occurred in Lincoln county in 1932 where 49 ar- rests were made. The 1931 record was held by Beaverhead county where 33 arrests were made. During 1932 no ar- rests for fish and game law violations were made in 12 Montana counties: Carter, Daniels, Fallon, Garfield, Lib- erty, McCone, Musselshell, Powder River, Prairie, Teton, Treasure and Wibaux. Pishing without a license proved the stumbling block for the largest number of offenders, SO being arrested in 1931 and S!i in 1932. In former years the largest number of arrests was usually made for shipping furs outside the state without a license. With the limited funds at its dispo- sal, the fish and game department is striving to cover the 90,000,000 acres or 140,997 square miles included within Montana's boundaries. The official pop- ulation of the state in 1930 is given as 537,606 or about four people to the square mile, hence the task confronting the small staff of law enforcement of- ficers associated with the department, may be visualized. Here's the record of arrests for viola- tion of the fish and game laws during the last 20 years: 1913 1923 403 1915 . 237 1925 1916 . .15
