NO GROUSE HUNTING UNTIL SEPT. l
New Laws Of Last Session Change Open
Season For Game.

The following is a part of the
amendments made to the game
laws by the last sessions of the leg
islature. The most prominent
changes made that concern this
country are the changes in the
grouse and pheasant season which
formerly opened on August 16 and
closed on December 1, but which
now open on September /. This
change was made to keep the hunt
ers out OF the timber during the
fire season. 1t was shown that
several of the fires last year were
started thorugh the carelessness of
hunters. The deer season opens
on September 20 and closes Deem
Der 20. This change was made
upon request of the North Idaho
sportsmen as it allows them to hunt
for deer after the snow begins to
fall, which aids In tracking the
animals.
1t shall be unlawful for any person
or persons to kill or destroy any
partridge, pheasant, or grouse ex-
sept between the FIRST day of Sep
tember and the first day of Deem
Der of each year, or to kill more
shan II of these birds in any one
day in any part of the state.
1t shall be unlawful for any per-
con or persons to hunt, pursue or
kill any deer except between the
10Th day of September and the
Goth day of December of each year.
