HELENA, Nov. %. - With duck
hunters of Montana demanding a
later season for the sport, and the
state game officials cooperating with
nei9hbor states to accomplish this,
indications are that the U. 5. bio
logical survey, next year may alter
the shooting dates, according to a
letter received by John w. Nelson,

the surveys offices in Washington.
In response to request for an
extension of the 1887 season, the
bureau wrote.
1.-THE federal season was fixed at
not more than 30 days in three zones
and a concession could not be made
for one state over another state.
The matter of the appropriate wa
ter fowl zone for Montana will again
be discussed with your game and
fish department before action is tax
en- next year, and you are assured
the wishes of sportsmen of your
state for a different open season
will have careful consideration.
