Text Appearing Before Image:
Originally the prong-horn ante- lope was abundant in the Sacra- mento and San Joaquin valleys, the Mojave Desert region, and in the desertlike plains of north- western California. Now herds are confined to the northeastern mountains of the State and to a relatively small area in the vi- cinity of Mono Lake. Source: McLean00".

to conserve the forage for their animals. As early as 1854 the California Board of Fish and Game commissioners closed the hunting season of antelope; but since the Board was unable to enforce the law, market hunters continued their depredations. With extensive agricul- tural development, including irrigation in the great val- leys, antelope took to feeding on alfalfa and other crops'"'. As a means of protection the farmers slaught- ered these animals in great numbers. The results were so drastic that in 1922 the California Academv of Sciences announced that the number of antelope in the entire State totaled only 434 head. Fearing that the antelope would become extinct, leading conservationists set up an action program which authorized game wardens to protect the prong-horn. This measure undoubtedly ac- ( omits for the recovery and present status of the prong- horn antelope (map above). According to the fairly accurate airplane census method used in recent years to count the highly mobile antelope, population figures have fluctuated relatively little. These figures were as follows: 1952 2,282 1953 2,247 1954 2,022 1955 2,155 1956 2,338 1957 2,080 1958 2,165 1959 1,917 1960 1,780 1961 1,906 1962 2,269 The range of the antelope is now essentially restricted to northeastern California, with Modoc the leading an- // CALIFORNIA RANGE HHUSIILANDS AND HHOWSE TLANTS
