Conditions Upon
Which NOn-Residents
Camping in Maine
Must Employ Guide

FROM inquiries and telephone
messages which have been received
at the department of inland fisheries
and game within the past few days,
it appears that an item in some
newspaper or newspapers referring
to the law requiring non-residents
to be in charge Of a guide under GER
tain conditions was somewhat mis-
leading. People seem to have re-
ceived the impression that all. tour
lists must be in charge of a guide
while camping in Maine. This is
not the case. A resident Of Maine
is not required to employ guide
unless he wishes to. Non residents
are required to employ a guide only
under the following conditions:
All non resident hunters, whether
camping or not-no matter where
they make their headquarters-whil
Hunting in unOrganiZed territory
must be in charge of guide; non
resident fishermen, however, are re-
quired to employ a guide only while
camping or kindling fires in unor-
ganized places while fishing. It
should be be noticed that the word
Or is used in this law. 1t makes
no difference whether a non resident
camps or kindles fires. If he is doing
either or both in an unorganized
township while fishing he must be in
charge of a guide.
The possession of firearms or fish
ing tackle in the fields or forests or
on the waters or ice of the state ia
prima facie evidence Of hunting or
fishing.
From the above 1t will be noted
that non resident or party of non
residents can tour the state and
camp all they wish to without a
guide either in organized or unor-
eanized territory as long as they
40 not while so camping or kindling
fires In unorganized territory hunt
or fish or have firearms or fishing
tackle in possession.
This law does not really work a
hardship on automobile trip tourists
generally except those who wish TO
make trips into the remote section
--unorganized townships-as there
Is extensive territory of the state. in
good hunting and fishing regions.
which Is within the limits of organ
lied places.
While the department has not the
funds available to publish for general
distribution lists Of organized places
IN the state, 1t Is very glad when a
special trip Is contemplated to give
lts correspondents or visitors at the
office lists of organized places in the
counties they propose to visit. TINS
enabling them to plan a trip which
can be taken without a guide II thew
