SEASON FOR
QUAILOPENS
MANY HUNT
Game Plentiful in Southern Part Of County
But Many Find Good Sport Nearer
al Hand on Thanksgiving Day

Celebrating the opening of season
in which quail are reported TO be very
plentiful many Nimrods ventured
forth with rifle and shotgun yesterday
IN quest OF game Of all descriptions
A question had arisen as to whether
the law designated November 30 or
December ] as the day on which the
season should open but the general
acceptation in Chickasha was that the
game season was open on Thanksgiy-
ing Day and in this they were upheld
by legal counsel.
b. b Barefoot who Is not only a
good lawyer but an expert huntsman
as well, gave it as his opinion We'd
uesday evening that the season was
10 open on the morrow and he for one
would take advantage OF 1t for a few
hours in the morning and return in
time to see the championship contest
at University park in the afternoon.
Under the law, in my opinion. the
people Of the state are allowed TO
hunt quail beginning on November 80
but the season closes on December 81.
The statutes define the season as be-
ing from November 80 to January but
! do not believe It would be legal to
hunt quail on New Years Day."
Licenses to hunt are obtainable at
the county clerks office, at the office
OF any deputy game warden and at
most Of the hardware stores. It is a
state license and costs $1,25 per year.
OF which $l goes to the state and
twenty-five cents to the office making
the sale.
Success attended the initial days
sport yesterday as general rule and
many parties bagged enough game to
satisfy their longings both for sport
and for the inner man. The hunting
was reported 10 be best in the south
ern part of the county although there
was good sport both in the northwest
and northeast sections.
