NOT MUCH DUCK sHOOTlAG
Claim That Federal Law For
bids it for Five Years.

u
There will be no more duck
shooting in this country for five
years to speak Of says the Lamar
Democrat. Will Hagney who keep
his eye open for the latest thing
in game news hands US q Wash
ington dispatch, stating that a
new federal law goes into effect
this fall prohibiting the hunting
of ducks and other migratory
birds for the next five years, ex-
cept in November and December.
There is very little duck hunting
in this part Of the country dur
ing these months. The big
hunting is in February and
March. This law will be a bitter
disappointment to hundreds Of
sportsmen over this part of the
country who have spent many
thousands buying up tracts of
the Marias de Cygnes and Usage
'swamps and slashes, and erect
ing club houses, almost solely for
the purpose of hunting ducks.
The dispatch is given below:
Kansas City hunters will have
to do all of their duck and goose
hunting in November and Dec
ember for the next FIVE years,
which means that they are al
most prohibited from doing any
migratory waterfowl hunting at
all.
Spring shooting until 1918 is
absolutely prohibited by the new
federal law which will go into
effect this fall. The closed sea-
son established by the law is
from January / to October 81.
The law was passed March 4th
to protect game birds which al
ready have been hunted beyond
the margin Of safety. This in
cludes ducks, geese and snipe.
