Description


[et_pb_section][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type="4_4"][et_pb_text] Museum specimens have been collected on many trips in the United States and to foreign countries, both north and south of the equator. The big game consists mostly of the largest specimens of each animal Dr. Pierson could find, which is customary in hunting. A number of specimens are record class and some are rarely seen in collections. Some licenses are no longer available because of the scarcity of animals or because of political changes. The meat from game taken, except for that used in camp, was given to local natives. Generally, only the oldest adult males were hunted, so in no way does this deplete the herd. In fact, biologically, it improves it. Licensure fees are often the only monies available to combat poaching and improve a wildlife habitat.[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section]
