The season on partridge, the only
game bird we have in this section
of the country will open on the
18th. Simply because the season
on this bird is not open every year
Is no reason why anyone should re-
vert to the tactics of "Game Hog"
and get more than his daily or sea-
.sonal share of these birds. Since
the work of game protection is of
vital Importance to this region, it
Is earnestly requested that all true
sportsmen and real citizens cooper
ate with this Office in the preven-
ttion of game lew violations by re-
porting those who ignore the State
game laws. The following may
help those who are not aware of the
status Of the law relative to the
hunting of partridge.
It is unlawful: ITO shoot part
ridge from a motor vehicle"
!, ITO kill more. than five partridge
day, thirty in whole season, or
to have more than fifteen in your
possession at any one time"
