Recent reports of people selling or trying to sell
antlers and other big game trophies in the Yukon have
prompted the Game Branch to remind residents it is
illegal to sell trophies or any part ot a big game
animal.

A branch spokesman added it is also illegal to sell
birds or birds' eggs. Apparently there is a developing
black matket in the sale of various game species in
North America. In some cases a Cyr Falcon could sell
for up to $10,000 and high prices are being paid for
trophy sheep and other big game.

Even rare birds" eggs are selling at high prices
in certain quarters of the continent, he said.

Anybody having knowledge of the illegal sales is
asked to contact the nearest Game Branch office or the
RCMP.

"Say, you are hunting with last year's|
licence."

"Thats all right. I'm only shooting at the
one's I missed last year."

Some people's finances are in such 4 mess you would think
that they were getting advice from the government.

'"'COHO SALMON EXPERIMENTS IN LAKE NIPIGON"

The "Coho" not being a native of the. Lake Nipigon
waters has experienced difficulty in surviving. The
female when going up the feeder streams, has been losing
her roe on the rocky bottoms, and when she got far _
enough upstream in the small pools and inlets, had great
difficulty getting back into the mainstream over the sand
bars, etc. In fact, as high as 90% were dying in the
upper reaches of the tributaries, which caused a pol-
-luation and odor problem.

~The’ Fish and Wildlife Division decided to crossbred
the "Coho" with the native "Walleye" for two reasons:
(1) the "Walleye" had the strength and knowledge to get
through the tributaries and (2) was not prone to lose the
roe while going upstream. This new species was named
"Cowal''. However, in crossbreeding, the fight that the
"Coho'' was noted for was lost to the more sluggish ten-
dencies of the "Walleye".

To combat this sluggishness, the experiment went
further. They bred the "Cowall" with the greatest fresh-
water fighter in North America, the "Muskie". This
created a hybrid, double crossbreed and introduced a Top
Canadian Game Fish. They named the hybrid the
"Co-Wal-Ski" and they now have to teach the dumb son-of-
a-bitch to swim.

Sincerely yours,
G.R. Kerr, Director.
