wrote to Attorney Gene raj Wolfe for
his opinion. Magistrate Sitton has re-
ceived the attorney generals reply
which is as follows:
Dear Sir:
Replying to your inquiry under
date of December / relative to the
alleged statement which has been ac-.
credited to the chief game warden to
the effect that resident Of the state
is required to possess hunters Ii
cense in order to hunt on his OWN
lands in any county of the state, I adj
wise that I have. just talked with the
chief game warden, who says no such
ruling or statement has been made by
him or on his authority. On the con-
trary section Of the act relative to
hunters licenses provides that the
provisions of the act shall not pre-
vent residents of the state from hunt
ing without license ON their own
lands in any county of the state.
Very truly,
