to Michigan Sportsmen.
Some time ago large number of the
local sportsmen were puzzled on the
question Of the game and fish laws Of
the state. They seemed to be very
hard to interpret. At that time the
state warden was in the copper coun-
try and stated that upon his return 70
Lansing he would forward brief pamph-
lets which were at the time being pre-
pared by Secretary Martindale, show
ing all the recent changes Of the law.
The following extracts are taken
from the pamphlet and are Of interest
to local hunters. The deer, duck and
partridge seasons all open on the same
day this year. October 15 is the date
set, which is very early for the deer
