been protected by statute for period
of five years. This is not so. The
close season for quail begins March
first and ends October 18th. The kill
ing of pheasants, prairie chickens and
bob white is prohibited for period of
five years, and as there are no birds of
that specie in northwestern Arizona
our local hunters need feel no alarm
in taking unprotected game.
