In the matter OF the shipment Of
defunct prairie chickens, the att
torney general of the state Of South
Dakota overrules the circuit court
for Minnehaha county. The circuit
court said last fall that a person
could ship not to exceed Is birds
from one point within the state to
another without accompanying the
shipment. The attorney general
contends that such shipment must
be accompanied by the shipper.
Otherwise it will be subject to conis-
cation by any game warden. Under
the ruling of the circuit court, a hunt.
er in the field can send home Is of
his chicks, while the attorney gener-
ais opinion makes him take them
home in person. This opinion of
the attorney general is of interest to
hunters as it is very likely that game
wardens will enforce the law with
this opinion as d guide.
