QUAIL SHOOTING
SEASON OPENS
Time for Taking Fur Bearing
Animals Also at Hand.

Today is the beginning Of what many
sportsmen term the real hunting season
in Indiana. The open season for shoot
ing quail goes into effect, as alss the
bearing animals.
George N. Manifold, chief of the dsh
and game division of the State conserva-
ton department, calls attention that the
open season for quail shooting ends with
and including Dec. 20. In other words,
there are forty days Of the open season
which, minus six Sundays, gives &C
tually thirty -four days Of this shooting.
The bag limit is fifteen birds day,
with not to exceed forty-hve birds in
three consecutive days, and 1t is unlaw-
full to possess more than forty Ave birds
at any time during the open season.
There is no bag limit on fur-bear1n 9
, animals and the season is open to and
including Eel. 10.
Reports to the conservation depart
ment from secretaries of fish and game
clubs in all parts Of the State indicate
considerably more quail this season than
usual This, sportsmen attribute to two
successive mild winters and three excel
lent breeding seasons.
Mr. Manifold points out that wardens
will be active to see that the quail and
fur bearing animal laws are observed. He
reports that one crew of three men last
week made twenty eight arrests, the
chief offenders of which were hunting
and fishing without licenses, and t6king
fur out Of season.
