Must Have License to Shoot on Own
Property.
The following important opinion by
Assistant Attorney General H. S..
Clancy, given to Game Warden Thorn
as P. Gable, passes upon an important
and much mooted question:
Hon. Thomas P. Gable,
Game and Fish Warden,
Santa Fe, N. M.
Sir: l have your letter of the 4th
inst., enclosing one from Mr.. W. B.
Knickerbocker of Aztec, N. NJ, inquir-
ing as to whether a person huneing
on his own private property should be
compelled to procure hunting Ii
cense.
There can be no question that it is
the intention of the territorial law to
require that every person who shall
at any time shoot, hunt or take in any
manner any game which is by law pro-
tected in this territory shall first OBJ
tain hunting license from the proper
authorities. Sec. l, Chap. S3, S. L. '09,
fully covers this subject, and before a
person is authorized to shoot any of
the game protected by law, whether on
his own property or elsewhere in New
Mexico, he must secure a hunting Ii
cenSe.
| return herewith the letter of Mr..
Knickerbocker and also the letter of
Mr.. T. S. Woolsey, assistant forester.
Very respectfully,
H. S. CLANCY,
Assistant Attorney General.
