According TO State Fish and Game
Commissioner John W. Titcomb the
season for hunting ducks in Vermont
is to close next Thursday, the 10th.
notwithstanding the fact that the
Vermont law says ducks may be TAX
en- until January rs This ruling isI
based on the Federal law which SAYS
that the season for ducks must close
on December '16 The federal law
may shorten hunting season as
made by state, but cannot lengtheu
the time OF state law. Very few
dncks have been seen this year in
this vicinity as compared with other
years. a party deer hunting saw a
few in the region about Sucker pond
but practically none have been
bagged. Evidently those hunters re-
ported as making plans to go after
ducks during the Christmas holidays
are not aware of the above ruling.
