Duck shooting is allowed in the

woodcock out of the class in which
they placed other game birds and said
that If 1t nested In March the young
of the year must be big enough for
broiling by July 4. Therefore in many
states 1t is made legal to shoot wood
cock In the early summer. The wood
cock rarely nests in March north OF the
Mason and Dixon line. II the wealth

will nest late. The young are not al
