Game Laws
A FTER a meeting recently of the Game Commissioners of
this county, the following summary of the principal game
laws governing shooting was given out by Mr. Leonard
Tufts, Chairman, which will be of interest and guidance to hunt
ers in this county:
s
The law prohibits the use of any automatic or pump gun or gun
larger5 than 10-gauge.
, It prohibits shooting from an automobile, use of a jack light or
use of poison.
It is unlawful to bait up land birds and the following shall not
be shot between sunset and sunup deer, rabbits, squirrels, turkeys,
partridge, dove, ducks or shore birds. Field trials may be run at
anytime.
The open season for deer is November 1 to 15 ; squirrels from
October 15 to January 15, with a bag limit of five a day; rabbits
from November 25 to March 1; partridge and turkeys and doves
from November 25 to March 1, with bag limit of three wild turkeys
a year, ten partridge or quail a day ; foxes from September 1 to
March 1,
The license charge for a resident is $1.25; non-resident $15.25.
Whoever takes out a license has to swear to obey the game laws of
the county.
Residents and minor children may hunt on their own ground
without a license. Minors may hunt if they have their parents
license or are accompanied by their parents.
Residents may ship inside the state, and non-residents may ship
in or out of the state during the season, but they may not ship
over two (2) wild turkeys or over two days' bag limit in one week.
The package shipped, however, must be marked outside with the
name and address of the shipper and consignee and give a list of
the number and kinds of game enclosed. Common carriers may
not accept shipments unless shown the shipper's license.
For the carrying out of the provisions of this law, game wardens
and deputies are to be appointed by the Game Commission and
sheriffs, deputies and constables are made ex officio game wardens.
The wardens, deputies and ex officio deputies are to receive $10.00
for any and every conviction, the money to be paid by the defendant.
Penalties are to vary from $10 to $500, or imprisonment for not
over six months, or both.
The money received for licenses is to be used for the protection
of game only.
The Game Commission has the right, after a hearing, to shorten
any open season, and they may order killed animals or birds that
are injurious to agriculture.
At their recent meeting names were suggested for wardens and
deputies, but the Commission has not heard as yet whether or not
these gentlemen will accept.
It was decided to print a summary of the law on the license and
to have some sort of tag that could be readily seen for the hunter
to sew onto his coat.
The Game Commission has decided to offer $.25 apiece for the
heads of all hawks and owls, with the exception of the screech
owls. A No. 0 ordinary jump trap set on top of a pole in a small
field will catch many hawks and owls and we believe that the
killing of these will not only be of great assistance to the game
but will reduce the loss of many chickens and turkeys by the farm
ers. Any of the wardens or deputies are instructed to give an
order on the County Treasurer for $.25 to any one delivering the
head of any hawk or owl as above described.
