HUNTING UNDER Is
Boys From 10 to IS Years old May Be Taken By Their
 Father

John W riteomh. Superiutcndcnt of Fisheries and Game. has issued the following statement relative to the status of boy hunters:
 The commission receives many in quiries in regard ta whether boys un- der sixteen may hunt without h- cense. The law provides that no per sons sixteen years of age or over shall hunt without having provided themselves with hunting hren Sc which IS obtaiRahle at the offices of town clerks. with the exception that 1t does not apply te landowners and their lineal diseendaats. Under the provisions of this law. 1t tx lawful for boys under sixteen Co hunt on the lands of their parents without a t. cense
 Can Handle Gun
 Some of these boys, brought up in the country know how to handle gun much better than some of the elder ones who have not had the advantages of being born and brought up in the country. The legislature evidently had in mind the safeguarding of hu- man life and the lives of inexperienced youth m refusing to license youths un- der sixteen years of age. At this seq son of the year. we have great many shooting accidents and the majority of them are among boys The great dan ger from giving q boy the use of a gun Is that he wants to take other boys with him and has not had the proper training in the handling of the gun. Boys who are SD unfortunate as Co not have access tn lands in the country owned by their parents are out of luck if they have shooting inelinations. Tho solution of their problem is tn induce the father ta take them out hunting. Boys from ten te fifteen years of age will learn how to handle and care for a gun more rapidly than persons of more mature years who have never had any experience with gnn. and they should be encouraged to learn how Co handle firearms. For this req son. the commission makes q liberal af the law and author izes the parent whe has a hunting H. cense to take his son or daughter along with him and ta train the child ren to carry and fire a gun.
 It is impossible. however. to grant the youth under sixteen a hunting IL cense. The parent who takes youth under sixteen into the woods for the purpose of hunting should himself have a license. Only one gun k per- mitted for the two persons. with the exception already mentioned. where the youth is hunting ou his father's land
