Our experience has been mainly with quail, turkey and deer on private game preserves of the Region, and the objective is usually to build up and maintain for hunting purposes as heavy stocks of quail and turkey as possible. Deer, which occur on most lands where turkeys range, are little desired by the non-resident preserve owners who seldom hunt them. If abundant, they may be more or less a nuisance on preserves where quail and turkey management is being carried on due to the fact that they may eat most of the foods planted for the game birds. They may be almost as bad as domestic livestock in this respect. Forest management for revenue, has during recent years become increasingly important on these places due to rapid increase in income and inheritance taxes. Now few can afford to maintain private game preserves without dependable income from the land, to take care of most of the expenses. Making the preserves self-supporting, and acceptable to the community through produce and payrolls, makes intensive forest and agricultural management necessary on the same acres that produce the game. One of our main activities during recent years has been an attempt to correlate these various activities to make possible the production of an abundance of quail, along with a profitable forestry and agricultural program.
