Early book on scientific wildlife management by Wallace Byron Grange (1905-1987), Wisconsin's first superintendent of game and later a researcher for the U.S. Biological Survey, written for hunters and landowners, not specialists. Grange draws on his long field study of snowshoe rabbit cycles in central Wisconsin to explain population cycles through plant and animal succession, then gives practical chapters on controlled burning for game, forest cutting, food strips and winter feeding, grazing, aquatic habitats, refuges, restocking, predator control, and incentive legislation for private game management. Acknowledgments credit Herbert L. Stoddard, Aldo Leopold, Paul L. Errington and the Hamerstroms, among others. Illustrated with the author's photographic succession series of jackpine and aspen tracts and wildlife photographs from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Contents: Acknowledgments; Introduction; Part I, The Pattern of Life; Part II, Plant and Animal Successions; Part III, Population Cycles; Part IV, The Technology of Game Increase; In Conclusion; Index.…
