HUNTERS Will GET
MORE FOR MONEY IN
LICENSE This YEAR

in Length; Regulations
Are Listed

Purchasers of hunting licenses In
North Dakota will be getting more for
their money this year than last, ac-
cording to Burnie Maurek, state game
and fish commissioner.
The hunter will be permitted to
hunt ducks, geese and other migra-
tory waterfowl for 60 days, or double
the length Of time proclaimed under
the 1881 regulations.
The pheasant season has been ex-
tended to four and one-half days, in
contrast with the one and one half
day season last year. In addition,
four birds can be taken daily of which
one may be hen while last year only
three could be taken, all cocks
Four counties and part of fifth will
be open to hunters of pheasants this
year: in 1881 only three counties were
open.
The booming of guns along the
states hunting spots will begin Octo-
Der l.
The season on prairie chickens and
sharp-tailed grouse remains at Is
days as in 1881 and the five-day sea-
son on ruffed grouse or partridge has
not been changed.
The open seasons on upland game
birds and migratory waterfowl, as set
forth by executive order of Governor
George F. Shafer, begins at noon, Oc-
tober to sunset October 10 in Dickey,

List BY Limits
The daily bag limits on birds are:
Pinnated grouse, sharp tailed grouse,
or partridge, S, nor more than five of
all varieties; geese, and brant, 4, nor
more than four combined: cootS IL,
jack snipe 10, ducks Is, of which not
more than he elder ducks and not
more than 10 each, or in the aggre-
gate, may be canvas-backs, redheads,
greater or lesser scaups, ringnecks,
blue winged on green-winged teal,
cinnamon teal, gadwalls, or shovel
lers.
No persons shall have in their pos
session at any time more than two
days bag limit of protected birds.
The federal regulations setting bag
limit of 10 ducks per day on all species
found in North Dakota, except the
pintail mallard and widgeon, Maurek
said, will doubtless be confusing to
the average hunter and may lead to
some misunderstanding and trouble.
The department suggests that hunt
ers who adopt a voluntary bag limit
of 10 ducks day on all species will
avoid any violation of the law.
The fee foc resident hunting Ii
cense is 81 so. They may be procured
from bonded game wardens. county
auditors and from the department at
Bismarck. Licenses must be carried
upon the person while hunting.
