Federal Migratory Bird Law also pro-
hibits the spring shooting of ducks,
and all violations of the Wisconsin
laws are reported by this department
to the Federal authorities and the vio-
lators apprehended will be prosecut-
ed by the Federal authorities after
paying the penalty imposed by our
state courts.
Hunters should also bear in mind
that the statute of limitations in these
cases gives two years after the viola
tions in these cases gives two years
after the violations are committed to,
start action, and violators can be brot
into court at any time should evidence
be found upon which to base the pro-
secution.
The law also provides that any per-
son making complaint and furnishing
evidence which leads to the convic-
ton of a violator is entitled TO one
third Of the fine imposed. It is not at
all unusual for cases to be brought
| into court long after the violations
are committed and it is indeed unsafe
for any hunter to feel secure from
prosecution even though he should es-
cape immediate detection.
The Conservation Commission has
made several prosecutions during the
past six months where the offense was
committed several months before, and
in every case the violators were found
guilty and fined. We have several
cases at the present time under inves-
tigation and no doubt prosecutions
will soon follow.
It is therefore advisable that all
hunters observe the law and avoid the
danger of prosecution.
