NEW GAME AND FISH LAW.

NEW GAME AND FISH LAW.
Some Features and Changes of the Game
and Fish Code.
The new game and fish code which
will be found in the law supplement,
contains several amendments to the
old law. It is very lengthy law and
covers over nine columns of small type.
The license for big game is raised to
Sl.OO and with it are four coupons,
three for deer, one for moose and one
for caribou. The holder of the license
can ship the animals with the coupons
attached to his own county, but no
where else. Non-residents still pay
S25 for big game license, which en-
titles them to ship two deer, twenty
five birds and fifty pounds of fish out of
the State. They can get a small game
license for $40, which entities the
holder to ship the birds and the fish.
Deer and male moose and male Carl
bou may be killed between November
10th and Nov. 3Oth.
The old law holds good for three
deer, one male moose and one male
caribou.
The open season for quail is made ff-
teen days later, from Oct 18th to Dec.
10Th. The open season for bass begins
May 18th, to permit fishing on May
10th. Spearing of pickerel, suckers,
red horse and bullheads for family use
and without lights, is permitted from
March 18th to May 1st.

hundred snipe, wild duck, goose,
brant, or any variety of aquatic fowl
whatever, or any or all of the same
combined.
The law says: mo persons shall
wantonly waste or destroy any of the
birds, animals Or fish of the kinds men,
toned in this act. The catching, TAX
ing or killing of more than twenty-five
birds by any one person in any one day,
or the catching, taking or killing of

ton waste and destruction of all such

excess of such NUMBER

18th and September 1st.

in wantonly killing wild birds that come
to spend the summer with u.s.
