Madison, Wisconsin: Game Management Division, Wisconsin Conservation Department
Summary
Knowledge of the seasonal food habits of Wisconsin animals has numerous blank pages. Many of our sportsmen are unaware of the feeding requirements of the game they hunt, and many conservationists cannot answer the questions that food habits pose with regard to the actual food and cover needs of faltering species. Food habit studies are important not only in determining the food preferences of a particular species, but also in discerning the food relationships existing between the animals in a community.
