PROTECT WOOD DUCK
FOUR MORE YEARS
Federal Regulation Names septem.
Der l., 1918 az Earliest Time to
Shoot These Birds.

Statements have appeared in many
sporting publications and newspa-
pers generally, to the effect that
neither the state game law nor the
federal migratory bird law makes any
special provision regarding wood
ducks, and that the open season on
them Is the same as on the wild
ducks, says an exchange. This is not
SO, for regulation Of the federal
regulations for the protection OF the
migratory birds specifically provides
that a closed season on wood ducks
shall continue until September l,
1918. The same provision protects
band tailed pigeons, little brown,
sandhill and whooping cranes, swans,
curlews and all shore birds, except
the black breasted and golden plover,
Wilson or jacksnipe, and the greater
and lesser yellowlegs. Woodcock are
also protected in Illinois during this
period by both the federal and the
state law.
The open season on waterfowl is
from September to December 10;
on black breasted and golden plover,
Wilson or jacksnipe, and greater and
lesser yellowlegs, from September 2
to December 16; and on rails, coots
(mud hens) and gallinues. from Sep
TENDER 2 to December 1. Shooting
between sunset and sunrise is pro-
hibited.
The regulation closing the Missis-
sippi river for shooting migratory
game birds remains In force until Oc-
tober 1. or until the proposed amend
ment Is approved by the president.
If hunters will be guided by this
information, they will avoid getting
into difficulty with either the federal
or state authorities.
