      This data shows merely the actual food value of game killed in the
State 
of Wyoming which values its wild life at $5,000,000. If this is considered
as 
a permanent investment for that State, the meat value alone shows a return
of 
almost 18% on investment which would indicate a going business and one worth

protecting in every way possible.
