IN STATE
Law MANY
Minnesota Regulations on
Game Hunting Amended
by the Assembly.

Among the changes made in the
game laws by the last legislature is
one changing the open season and bag
limit. Under the old law the season
on prairie chickens and water fowl
opened on Sept. Z. The new law
makes the opening day Sept. 16.
The season for prairie chickens will
close on Oct. 1 and the bag limit for
upland birds, except quail, is reduced
to five birds per day and fifteen in
possession of any or all kinds COM
bined. A daily limit Of ten quail is
permitted. and season bag limit of
twenty-five prairie chickens or thirty
quail is fixed. The season for quail
shooting is the month of November
only. A closed season for three years
is fixed for ruffed grouse or partridge.
Further protection to the partridge
is afforded by an act making a closed
season between March / and Oct. Is
on gray. black and fox squirrels, fish
er, marten and raccoon. This robs
hunters Of the excuse that they are
hunting squirrels" when they really
are in the woods to shoot cartridges.
Another new law prohibits the
shooting Of any kind of game from
automobile or other motor vehicles.
The law forbidding the pursuing and
shooting Of ducks in open water was
amended to allow the retrieving of
birds which may have been wounded
when shot from a pass or blind, fall
ing in open water.

HUNTING LICENSES.

An amendment was adopted requir-
ing the purchase of small game hunt
ing licenses by all persons over IA
years of age. The present law expects
resident minors from it's requirements.
A new act corrects the discrimina-
ton resulting from the bag limit law
passed at the 1915 session. and pro-
vides that the nonresident big game
hunter shall be entitled only to take
one deer or one male. antlered moose,
and also permits shipment of game so
legally taken to the home of nom
resident.
Under the old law a special permit
was necessary to ship the head Of q
big game animal to a taxidermist or
the hide to a tannery. This was
amended to provide for an additional
shipping tag on the license for use in
shipping heads or hides without going
through the formality Of securing a
special permit.
Another act prohibits aliens, that is,
persons who are not citizens Of the
United States or have not legally de-
clared their intention of becoming
citizens, from hunting game birds or
animals and from either owning or
possessing firearms of any kind. An
exception is made in favor of alien
non resident sportsmen who are per-
mitted to hunt in Minnesota under
this act on the same terms as other
