Some Points On
State Game Law
First Step Is To Secure License,
Then Observe Bag Limits
And Open Seasons.
Other Information
Before the hunter shoulders his
■gun and calls his hounds this fall it
-would be well had he spent an hour or
so digesting the State game law ere
he takes the trail. For hunting this
season, while it may not differ es
sentially from that of last year and
. years before, will have to be con
ducted along lines that will keep the
hunter within the law. Obeying the
game law will work no hardship on
any man and it will work to the ad
vantage of conserving what game is
left in the county. There will b6 no
under-cover deputy game wardens
snooping around to see what they
may discover in the way of law vio
lations, for it is not expected that
there will be many slip ups on this
score. But the county game commis
si, sion is desirous of seeing the law ob-!
served and any violations of the law
reported or discovered by chief deputy
■C. W. Steed, or any other deputy
game warden, will be prosecuted.
It has been the experience where
. strict game laws are In force that in
a few years public ^opinion is the best
means of enforcing the law. It is
said that such game laws so tend to
increase the amount of game by
-throwing a protecting arm about it
- that the people in general are anxious
to see the law followed.
Must Have License
At any rate this year and in years
~to come, or until the present game law
Is repealed, which is unlikely, the
person who hunts off his own land
must have a license to do so. The
^county license costs $1.25, of which $1
is the license and 25 cents the fee for
the person issuing the license. State
resident license costs $5.25 and is
good in any county in the State. The
non-resident who wishes to hunt in
North Carolina must pay a license of
$15.25, which gives permission to
liunt in any county in North Carolina.
Of course, in all cases the hunter
must comply with the law relative to
the open seasons. And a license does
not give any man permission to hunt
promiscuously on any man’s land. He
must get permission to hunt on any
land other than his own as has been
the custom and practice heretofore.
And the possession of a license gives
no man permission to hunt on land
leased by another. Licenses may be

Quoting the exact wording of the
law With Reference to the license we
find that "Each license shall be void
after the first day of April next suc
ceeding the date of its issuance. Each
licensee shall have his license on his
person at all times when he is tak
ing game animals or birds, and shall
exhibit the same for inspection to any
Warden or other officer requesting to
see it. No person shall alter or loan,
change, or transfer any license issued
pursuant to the provisions of this act,
nor shall any person other than the
person to whom it is issued use the
same.
“Any person who is a resident of
this State, and any dependent mem
ber of his family under twenty-one
years of age, may take game birds
and wild animals in the open season
for the same, and not contrary to
the provisions of this act, on lands
owned by such resident, without a
license; and a minor member of a
family resident of this State, under
sixteen years of age, may hunt un
der the license of his parent or
guardian; but such minor must
carry said license when so hunting,
unless accompanied by said parent
or guardian; and a non-resident
minor child of any resident of this
State may lawfully procure and use
the same license required of a resi
dent, when such non-resident child
is actually visiting such resident
parent: Provided, that a party who
leases a farm for cultivation shall
not be required to obtain a license
to hunt thereon.”
Bag Limits
Possessing a license the hunter can
not kill at will. Bag limits are set.
No person may kill more than • 10
squirrels in a day. Only two deer
any one day nor more than four dur
ing an entire , season may be killed
and neither may be a female deer.
There is a closed season in Randolph
on the wild turkey, but in other coun
ties in which there is no closed sea
son only two may be killed in any
one day and only five during a season.
There is no bag limit on the rfcbbit
and this, perhaps, .will delight the
heart of many a Randolph youth. The
bag limit on quail is ten in one day.
Only 6 woodcock may be killed in a
single day.

ents when they moved away from
Asheboro. She had, however, not lived
in Greensboro for the past two years.
Her body was brought to the home of

Packages To Be Marked
Any package in which any wild ani
mal or bird or part thereof, or egg or
nest of any wild bird, is transported
working for a state of society which
will be inimicable to the coming gen
eration.
The second thing is character. It
is our duty to our 'Children to give
•them a good biological inheritance.
This we can do by living clean lives
ourselves and, in the final analysis,
most of the good we do cither people
depends on how well we take care of
ourselves;
If the children are healthy and
strong and normal physically the next
thing they need is moral character.
Unfortunately, this is a more diffi
cult thing to come at. Out of many
a family with the highest ideals and
the most blameless practice can come
a descendant who is absolutely lack
ing in moral stam&a. About all we
can do is to give $s good an example
as possible and good teaching. The
result then is in th«i lap of the gods, j
We can’t help it and we are not to
blame if the young scion turns out
crooked. It is lamentable, but it is
inevitable.
Another thing we can leave our
children is friendship and association
with the right kind of people. This
we can only do by associating with
the right kind of people ourselves.
The best that can be done, in a nut
is a know our children, be cem
with them and influence
our own character as much
