Protecting Big Game (1915)
(Produced under the auspices of the Board of Panama-Pacific Managers for the State of Idaho) The State of Idaho is noted for its elk and so cognizant is it of the fact that thousands of those graceful and handsome animals abide there that the authorities have caused to be enacted an unusually drastic statute providing for the preservation of the elk. The poacher pitches his tent and after getting a few tips as to how to hunt elk in the snow starts out on skis. It is not long before he brings down a fine specimen. The game warden traces the poacher's marks in the snow to the camp. Not finding the law breaker there he starts out to find him and comes upon the skinned carcass of the elk. The warden then retraces his steps and arrests the poacher in his camp. Much of the picture is taken up with views of herds of elk. With the advent of the very cold weather which brings with it deep snow, the elk herd come down from the mountains into the valleys where the ground is to a more or less degree windswept and there is a better chance to get food. The animals remain together and huddle up almost like sheep. They are very timid despite their starving condition.
