Federal Game Law Opens Duck
Hunting Season on October
lst. and is Over State

Writing to the Reno Gazette, Geo
I. James, Departmental Representa-
tive of this district has the following
10 say about the duck law:
Il wish you would correct any
salse impression as to the opening of
the duck season. The season opens
under the federal law on October
/ and closes on January 18th.
The state law opens the season on
September 10, but the state law IS
aperceded by the federal law and
anyone hunting ducks before October
! lays himself liable to prosccutiope
Many contend that the law is Ii no
feet because it has been held to be
unconstitutional in Kansas and in
Arkansas lthe opposite has been held
n South Dakota, however, These de-
eisions do not nullify the law except
N the state in which tncy were rend-
cred II all other states the federal
iaw obtains and stands effective until
The federal supreme court renders a
decision that the law is unconstitu-
tlonal. If 1t shall 80 decide.
Ne hope that tho sporlsmen of this
tate will not need a drastic enforce
nent OF thel aw but will obey because
i is good law, conceived and en-
iorced in the interest even of those
yho oppose it,
II is the fact that. under the federal
aw. although it has been in force
only two years. the ducks have in
creased in numbers ali over the Unit
ID States and there IS better shooting
low than for several years.
If the hunters will be patient and
assist instead of opposing those that
re working in their interest, this law
gill finally be adjusted to the salts
action of all. There is no question
hat since. once the law is adjusted.
t viii be for the best interests of the
portsmen. will insure continuation
If the sport and will not be liable to
hange every two years just because
iomeone wants to shoot ducks a lit
lie earlier of a little longer and no
'oncern other that to set the ducks
le can as quickly as possible.
Il Is the intention Of the officials of
he'd apartment Of agriculture to in
iestigato carefally reports of viola
ions made to the departments in
peetors or wardens and TO prosecute
II sncn violations in the federal
ourts. in which tribunals no such
decisions as mot guilty but don't do
I again are likely to be rendered
IN. this connection it Is pointed ont
hat prosecutions may be instituted
my time within three years after the
3ffense. The offender will have no
knowledge that he has been detected
intil he is served with a warrant
from Washington.
Anyone wishing to see the law en-
orced and having direct evidence Of
Is violation is invited to report the
late to Washington
