HUNTING SEASON BEGINS SOON.

For the first time in six years the
sportsman may hunt game birds i'll
Wisconsin. Near determination at
one time, the protective policy has en-
abled the remnants to multiply until
the woodlands and open spaces have
a busy winged and fluttering popula-
ton, reminiscent of early days. Prai-
RE chickens are reported to be plenti-
full in the counties in which the open
season has been declared. Partridges
are harder to find.
Five days hunting is permitted for
birds. The dates fixing the open sea-
son in each case are inclusive.
Partridge and spruce hen may be
hunted in all counties of the state ex-
cept Calumet ManitOwoc and Winnie
bago. The open season is Oct. 4 to s.
In the case of prairie chicken and
grouse, a consider able reservation of
territory is made, the birds being pro-
tected in 81 of the thickly settled
counties. The counties in which there
is no open season are Grant, La Fay
cite, Green, Rock, Walworth, Racine,
Kenosha, Milwaukee, Waukesha, JEFF
ferson, Dane, Iowa, Crawford, Rich
land, Sank, Washington, Ozaukee,
Vernon, La Crosse, Monroe, Fond du
Lac, Manitowoc, Winnebago, Calumet,
Portage, Waupcca, Oneida, Lincoln,
Polk, Barron and Dunn. The re-
mainder of the state is open to hunt
ing.
For prairie chicken and grouse, the
open season is Sept. 20 to "a inclu-
sive.
Five Birds the Limit.
The bag limit, whether all of a
kind or mixed, is five birds. Hunters
may kill five cartridges or five spruce
hens, or three cartridges and two
spruce hens, but in no case may the
bag contain more than five birds.
This rule holds true with respect to
prairie chicken and grouse. The
hunter may not stay three days, and
bring home Is birds. He is permit
ted to bring home only five birds. He
may bring his birds home in his per-
sonal possession only, it being
violation of the law to ship birds.
Nonresidents, who are subject to
the same restrictions as residents,
will be required to pay $25 small
game license. If they wish also to
hunt deer during the same season, the
license fee will be $50 for both kinds
of game.
Issue Thousands of Hunting Licenses
Madison.-W. e. Barber, conserva-
ton commissioner, states that from
10000 to $4,000 additional hunting Ii
censes, mostly domestic at 81 each,
will be issued this year, as compared
to last year, if the commissions ex-
pectations are realized. This will
bring the total up to about 10000.
