Polioy 
At the 17th Annual American Game Conference in New York City on 
December 1 and 2, 1930, a proposed American game policy was adopted by 
the American Game Protective Association. Seven fundamental actions 
were recommended at the conference. It is recommended that the Wiscon- 
A 
sin Game Division adopt these actions for its game policy. The seven 
actions are: (1) Extent public ownership and management of game lands 
just as far and as fast as land prices and atailable funds permit.  (2) 
Recognize the landowner as the custodian of public game on all other land.

Protect him from the irrespansible hunter and compensate Kim for putting

his land in a productive condition. Compensate him either publicly or 
privately with either cash, services or protection for the use of his land

and for his labor on condition that he preserve the game seed and otherwise

safeguard the public interest. In short, make game management a partner-

ship enterprise, to which the landholder, the sportsman and the public each

contribute appropriate services, and from which each derive appropriate 
rewards. (3) Experiment to determine in each state the merits and demerits

of various ways of bringing the three parties into productive relationship

with each other. Encourage the adoption of all ways which promise to result

in game management. Let the alternative ways compete for tae use oi the 
land, subiecting them to public regulation if this becomes necessary. (4)

Train men for skillful gm e admikistration, management and fact finding.

Make game a profession like forestry, agriculture, and other forms of applied

biology. (5) Find fasts on what to do on the land to Make gane abundant,

(6) Recognize the non-shooting protectionist and scientist as sharing with

the sportsmen and landowners the responsibility for conservation of wild

life as a whole. Insist on a joint conservation program, jointly formulated
