Sportsmen Aid In Protection Of Fish:& Game
By Bob Wyckoff
Many hundreds of deer
hunters will take to the hills
Saturday for the opening of
the 1961 season in Nevada
County.
Not many of them willgive
a secondthought to the
reasons behind each year's
successful kill.
Those whodo may realize
that years of cooperation and
hard work by interested
citizens, private clubs and
governmental agencies is the
answer.
Most sportsmen take for
granted their bag whether it
be quail, duck, trout, pheasant or deer.
Many sportsman's clubs
have been formed through
the years. One of oldest in
west was founded May 21,
1880, in Nevada County as
the Grass Valley Sportsmans
Club.
The purpose of this club
according to Article I, Section 2 of its constutition--"The object of the Club is
the preservation of game and
fish, and fish culture, for
protecting the same by legal
means, for influencing so far

and ordinances as may be
found necessary to accomplish that end, to enforce
those laws; to encourage the
use of gun among the members and generally to attend
to and guard such matters

and interested therewith connected as may be of benifit
to the public and the mem.bers of the Club." A group of
men joined together to assure
themselves and others a continuing supply of fish and
and game.”
Clubs such as the Grass
Valley Sportsmans and many

others played a large part in
bringing about changes and

how this one particular club
tried to improve game bird

In this way, telephone

Last month I told you about
Farm Interphone service,
a new convenience we recently introduced for
farmers. Busy farmers
find it saves lots of time
and makes life easier for
the whole family.
With a Farm Interphone
system, one can talk back
and forth between the
house and other farm locations. And you can also
make telephone calls from
either farm buildings or
the house. When the.wife
wants to talk to her husband, all she does is pick
up the phone and talk. She

scalps to the secretary--not less than 20 in number.
The presentation to be made
at the annual dove hunt in
June, 1889---",
(This move was undoubtedly aimed at reducing the .
pesty Blue Jay.)
At the meeting of February
19, 1889, “The president
stated that he had inquired
into the price of Chinese
Pheasants and pair could be
got at $12.50 per'pair. Eggs
can be (obtained) at $2.50 .
per dozen and that he had
ordered 4 doz. eggs.”
On March 6, 1889, the
clubs next. meeting --"The
consideration of the purchase
of Chinese Pheasants was
postponed until next meeting.”
However no report was
made on the Pheasant project. at the April meeting but
on May 1, 1889 the "ComMittee report of Dr. I.W.
Hays on Chinese Pheasant
eggs submitted and approved,
indentification and a saddle
for a quick get-a-way in
hunter with “buck fever".
He reported four sittings of
the eggs disposed of as follows: Willis Peaslee (the club
secretary) 9, B. McGrath 11,
I,W. Hays 10, Tom Bourne
8, total number to date 38
leaving 9 on hand to be disposed of, the four dozen
coming to hand one short on
account of breakage." .
The members took the eggs
home and assumedly placed
them under a broody hen to
hatch,
The results of the experiment were announced at the
next meeting, June5, 1889.
“Committee report of Dr.
Hays on Pheasant eggs---,
He reports 17 birds hatched
out of 47 eggs and all dead
excepting four hatched at
Vineyards ranch in Pleasant
Valley. These four alive &
doing well."
One further mention of the
Pheasant project appears in
the minutes of September 4,
1889, "The committee on
Pheasant propagation reported three phasants alive at T .
C, Bournis, Pleasant Valley,
all the balance in other
hands having diéd. The report was received and the
committee discharged. "
The project didnot appear
tobe successful but the motive behind it was very worth' while.
The Blue Jay scalping contest mentioned earlier however was a success ag reported in the minutes of
July 10, 1889, “At Camp
