BY virtue of new game laws a farmer
can hunt on his own land without
license. Spring shooting of ducks
geese and snipe is also allowed between
April 10 and May 1. Thus important
concessions are made to sportsmen, but
the provision forbiding the sale of game
is expected to do more towards its pre-
servation than so game wardens. Rab-
bits aud squirrels can be sold and can be
shipped unaccompanied by the owner.
The law forbidding the hunting of rab-
bits by ferrets is also repealed. BY the
present law a hunter can carry so
Aquatic fowls or 25 upland game birds
or two deer, but he must accompany them
and cannot sell them. Hence there will
be no more venison on sale at butcher
shops and to get it one must either go
hunting or cultivate u hunter or confs
eating game warden.
