Under the new game law of Wiscon-
sin residents of that state are required
to pay license fee of one dollar to
hunt, provided they use dogs. but they
may hunt prairie chickens and grouse
without dog without taking out a
license. Hunting prairie chickens and
grouse without a dog would be about
as much sport for sportsman as fish
ing without bait would be to scientific
angler. A few men and boys who do
not own a dog or who never hunted
over a well-bred and thoroughly trained
dog, may be satisfied to hunt without
one just to save dollar. but anyone
can bet his last nickel without fear of
losing it, that the sportsman who owns
a good bird dog would rather pay five
dollars license than go shooting with
out his dog. This is certainly weak
point in the law, as many will go out
shooting without a license, meet a
friend who has dog and a license
and shoot over their friends dog just
the same as if they carried license to
do SO, and if they should be arrested
they will not have much trouble in
proving that they were not shooting
over the dog; that the man with the
dog came along, going in the direction
they We're, and they could not prevent
the mans dog hunting for his master.
These little loopholes in a game law
are what cause a lot of trouble. as they
are sure to be used to cover up viola
tions, and through them cases are often
lest to the game warden.
