HUNTERS License !.
Law NEEDS REVISION.
State Game Warden Of West Virginia
Declares More Revenue Is
Necessary

WHEELING, W. Va, Nov. 20
West Virginia needs resident hunt
ers license law, Hon. ]. A. Viquesney,
state forest. game and fish warden,
or BclinGton. declared, while in Wheel
'ng, on his way to Pittsburgh, on busi-
he:S At the last session Of the leg
ia'atnrc. Mr.. ViQuesncy attempted to
nave enacted law which provided
FOR a resident hunters's license Of 81
III one county or 81 for the entire
state. The law finally passed differed
greatly from one urged by Mr. Wis.,
Gnesncy, providing that resident coun-
~ licenses be granted free and that
statewide licenses cost So.
At the next regular session OF tho
legislature, Mr. Niquesncy will at
tempt to have enacted the measure
which he proposed two years ago.
Sentiment has changed considerably
duling the past few years, and tho
hecd or such 4 measure is now gen.
orally recognized he says, and he be-
Eeres the bill will now pass.
The proposed measure would pro-
duce between $4,000 and $4,000 In
revenue which would maintain the do
partment, create funds to carry on the
work Of fish and game propagation
and forest preservation, besides pay
ing the bountics provided by the pres
cnt law
The proposed law raises between
$4,000 and $1,000, which is not suf-
fi,icnt to carry on all the work OF the
department and pay the bounties. The
law provides that ten per cent Of tho
collections from licenses shall be
turned into fund from the boun-
ties arc paid. The following rewards
or bounties are offered: For each wild
cat, $5; for each hawk, Except spar
row or muse hawk) 25 cents cents;i
for each horned owl, 25 cents; and
for each crow, 10 cents
However, the fund OF 81 900 or
81 200 created under the present law
IS sufficient to pay bOunties for only
month or two. Several hundred
claims for killing wild cats we're turn
ed into the department last year, 80
the fund was quickly exhausted.
Game Is Plentiful.
Game is plentiful in West Virginia
his year, according to Forest. Game
ana Fish Warden Viluesney. Many
bears and deer are being killed, and
Wild turkeys, he said, are unusually
plentiful this year. Deer may be hunt
ed until December l.
according to reports reaching Mr..
Virucsncy from different sections Of
the state, game birds are numerous.
AS an experiment the game depart
Tucnt a few years ago placed several
Chinese ring-ncck phcaSants in about
twenty counties. The birds quickly
became acclimated and have multi
Dl;cd until they are now quite numer-
Gus. The experiment was entirely sue.
CcSGful Mr.. Viquesney says.
Mr.. Vjquesncy said that violations
Of the game laws are rare and each
year are becoming less frequent. Tho
stortsmen, he said, are fairly we'll in
formed as to the laws, and the depu-
,ie5 Of the department have prevent
Cd many violations.
