Our sportsmen should take steps to have the Legislature amend the present game law so as to prevent quail being exterminated in this State by means of traps and nets. In the past week thousands of these birds have been sold in this market that were captured by means of traps. The law at present allows u man to trap on his own land, and the burden of proof that trappers do this rests upon the prosecution, which virtually nullifies the law.
