Louisiana Conservationist Vol 9

Excerpt from Louisiana Conservationist, Vol. 9: December, 1957 It has been estimated that hunting and fishing is a billion dollar business in Loni siana each year. That amazing figure is arrived at by estimating the amount of money spent by hunters and fishermen in the pursuit of their sport - for guns, shells, fishing tackle, equipment, gasoline, food, clothing, lodging, guides, licenses, etc. So you see hunting and fishing do play important roles in the economic health of our state and the recreation of our people. But who can measure the true value of a rabbit by the cost of the shell in the shotgun? How can the sight of a wild turkey be evaluated in terms of the price of the film used to record the scene? And when can the melodious whistle of the bobwhite be replaced by canned music on a radio? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
