HUNTERS MUST STAY
OFF PRIVATE Land
District Court of Appeal Holds
Owner Entitled to Prevent
Trespassing

SACRAMENTO, Dec. ga decision
of interest to sportsmen and involving
the right of hunters to pursue game on
the lands of private owners was handed
down in the third district court of ap-
peal today, and reversed the ruling of
Edward H. Forester against Frank
Johnson, ct al The lower court found
in favor of Johnson.
The original case involved the alleged
trespass of Johnson and others for the
purpose of hunting on certain premises
owned by Forester in Napa county and
chased the land from the state and had
he had no right to keep hunters from
going on it to hunt on Fly Bay" which
was classified as navigable waters.
Judges Hart and Chipman concurred
with Judge Burnett in holding that the
issue involved was similar to the former
case of Kellogg against King, where it
was held that "the wild game of the
state belongs to the people in their SOW
erelgn capacity and is not subject to
private dominion to any greater extent
than the people through the legislature
may see fit to make"
Yet, said Judge Burnett under section
656 of the civil code. while wild birds
are within persons inclosure, 'he has
such rights in them as entitle him to
protect them from invasion by those not
authorized to be there. and any person
violating snch rights is as much a tres
passer as though entering unbidden the
plaintiffs s dwelling"
