Mr.. J. A. Lowe of the Plain Dealing
community, who was caller Monday
says he has not bagged quail or duel
this season. And the season for shoot
ing ducks has closed, if one is to respec
the Federal regulations governing mi
gratory birds. According to the STATE
game laws the season for hunting duck
does not close until the 18th, but on th'
other hand it closed with the last da,
in January according to the Fedora
regulations. Mr.. Lowe spoke of thes
conflicting dates, saying it was confus
ing, and it does seem that more thai
a year would offer sufficient time TO
tie authorities to fix upon a uniform
date. However, the spring shooting o
birds for the future is a practice of tn,
past. It will no doubt never again b
legally permitted.
