Many are under the impression that
the game season for all kinds of game
opened on August Is. This is mis-
take. California or Bob White quail
cannot be killed lawfully before the 10Th
of October. This rare game bird IN
which the islands abound to limited
extent should be protected and every,
BODY should see to it that violations OF
the law are prosecuted. Following are
some of the open seasons for game fixed
by the law of 1887.
Deer-September to December l.
Must not XIII more than four deer.
| Grouse or partridge-August 10 10
December l.
Ducks or other Game waterfowl
August Is to January /.
/ California or Bob White Quall-Oct'
15 TO December /, west of the Cascades
The possession of game at other tunes
is made prima facie evidence OF VIOLA
ton of the law.
