A number of people have asked about bird feed. The Game Commission does not furnish food for birds. Feeding of Game birds is in most cast's not a feasible practice.

Feeding tends to concentrate birds and i^ake therm more susceptible to‘ predators. One practice that has jved more successful than feeding la the scraping away of snow so birds can get to grit. Roadways usually provide this but on large areas away from any roads it may be useful to open some such areas. Even with this snow a great deal of food is still available above the snow.
