OPEN SEASON FOR HUNTING
RACCOON

Dear Editor:
We are receiving a great may in
Quiries relative to the open season
for the hunting of raccoon and opos-
sum and would appreciate your pub
fishing the following article for the
benefit of the readers of your val
liable paper which am sure would
be appreciated by them and save
them embarrassment for violation
of the laws.
There seems to be an impression
throughout the State tkat the law
permits the training of dogs on rae
coon and opossum prior to the OPEN
ing of the season for the hunting of
same, November LIST. This is in
correct.
Paragraph F Section 20, Chapter
557, Acts of 1929, provides it to be
lawful to train dogs between Septem-
ber 10th to November 9th on wood
cock, English ringnecked pheasant,
ruffed grouse, rabbit and partridges
(quaiD, provided an attendant ac-
companies said dog, or dogs, but in
so doing no person shall be permit
ted to carry gun or firearm of any
description; therefore, this permis-
sion is not granted to those desiring
to train their dogs ON raccoons and
opossum.
Paragraph 1, Section 81, of Chap
ter 42O, Acts of 1929, provodes it to
be unlawful to hunt any raccoon or
opossum between the first day OF
February and the first day of Novem-
Der following of each and every year,
both dates inclusive; therefore, it is
unlawful to hunt raccoon and opos-
sum in any manner except between
November 1st and January 31st, in
elusive. The hunting OF raccoon and
opossum is done at night time and it
will be impossible to permit persons
to train their dogs on same, as the
situation would be quite different in
hunting these fur-bearers to what it
is in permitting persons to train
rabbit and bird dogs in day time.
Yours respectfully,
E. LEE LeCOMPTE,
State Game Warden
