SPECIAL INSPECTORS OF
FISH AND GAME DEPT.

The Department of Inland Fisheries
and Game has been very busy OF late
arranging for the appointment of spe-
cial inspectors to identify shipments
of game and birds which are being
made by non-residents in automobiles
or other private conveyance.
The law passed at the last session
of the Legislature provides that no
non resident shall transport, or have
transported, by any motor vehicle or
other conveyance. any wild animal or
wild bird, or part thereof, unless the
same is tagged with the proper tag
or tags detached from the owners
hunting license and unless said tag or
tags bear the written approval of an
inland fish and game warden or
deputy inland fish and game warden
or of the commissioner of inland
fisheries and game. If any wild bird
or wild animal. or part thereof, is
found in possession of any person in
violation of any provision of this
paragraph, the same is subject to
seizure and may be seized by any Of
ficer authorized to enforce the iTland
fish and game laws.
In order to carry out the provisions
of this law. many wardens on regular
duty have been detailed to serve as
Special inspectors and in addition
thereto numerous citizens-express
agents, business men, etc. have been
clothed with authority to inspect such
shipments.
Non-residents who are transporting
game in motor vehicles or by other
private conveyance will be requil ed
to go before one of these special in
spectors and identify their game.
whereupon the inspector, after salts
flying himself that the party trans
porting the game is the holder of the
nonresident hunting license tags.
which must be attached to the game
! by the licensee when loading the
same into the automobile, and in adj
j dition thereto will tag the same with
n special official tag showing that
/ the game has been properly identified.
| and that the holder is authorized to
! take the same out of the State.
! Inspectors have been appointed at
| all principal places on the leading
automobile routes, so that non-resi-
dent hunters travelling by automobile
Z
! identify their game.
