Beaver Season
To Open Sunday

Every county in the state may take
part in the 15-day beaver trapping
season set by the state department of
conservation to begin at a. m. March
l, and end at p. m. March Is. Only
certain portions of Lake and st. Louis
counties and all state parks, game
refugees and public hunting grounds
will be closed. Not more than eight
beaver may be taken by one icensee
Beaver pelts submitted to state
game wardens for sealing within five
days after the close of the trapping
season must have attached thereto
certain portions of the skull, accord
ing to an order from the department.
The order states that attached to the
pelts must be "all that portion of the
skull and upper jaw between the
eyes and the tip of the nose, includ-
ing the teeth of the upper Jaw"
This regulation is imposed to pre-
vent outlaw trappers from taking
beaver weeks ahead of the season
opening, and then submitting them to
wardens for sealing as legal pelts.
This years season was set more
than four weeks earlier than in 1941,
when the spring breakup rendered
roads impossible in some sections,
and made trapping difficult in others
because of the fluctuating levels of
flooded streams.
