Hunting With Dogs Prohibited By

For the information of few IN this
section. who seem to be uniformed of
the state law regarding hunting with
dogs, We quote the following from the
Game and Fish Laws of Colorado:
Except as in this act otherwise
permitted, no person shall use in the
pursuit of game and fish any dog, net,
seine. trap. snag hook, trout line, arti-
ficial lights or device whatever.
During the recent past these have
been used in hunting and .saughrer"
of bear and it has been reported dur
ing this week that dogs are being u led
in chasing deer near here.
While those guilty of violation of
above game law may have acted in
ignorance, such fact would not be con-
sidered if the State Game and Fish
department desire to prosecute.
There is saying about "a word to
the wise" and this instance is no
exception. -Pagosa Spring Journal.
