THE ATLANTA GEOKOLAN AND NEWS.
ll'EFDAY, NOVEMDEU W.
PROPOSE TO STOP
SALE OF QUAIL
' TO PROTECT GAME
Hunters May Draft Bill For
Next Session of the
Legislature.
If a movement now on foot among local
sportsmen is successful, the game laws of
(ieorgla will be more rigid after the session
of the state legislature next summer.
Chief among the amendments proposed,
which are to be embodied In a bill now* In
course of preparation, will be a provision to
prevent the sale of quail In Georgia. Simi
lar laws are now in effect in Tennessee and
Alabama and are said ot be productive of
much good in the matter of preserving
game. This is the idea underlying the pro*
posed new Georgia law—the preservation of
the birds. Sportsmen who have studied the
situation believe this is the solution of the
came problem.
Auotner Item that will directly affect the
nluirods is the proposition to provide a cer-
tain license for all hnnters. The money to
be derived from this license, it Is pro
posed, shall go toward a fund to pay the
salary of a game warden, whose duty it
would have little effect.
It Is understood the movers contemplated
having such a bill introduced at the last
session of the legislature, but deferred the
matter owing to the prohibition tight and
other important lealalation that occupied
most of the time of the law-makers.
J. M. Heinz, of the firm of Helus & Sons,
dealers In sportsmen*! supplies tnd a lovsr
of the sport, said:
••The law proposed, I* Is believed, will be
of material benefit to Georgia In the matter
of preserving game. In fact, this Is consld-
ered the only solution. Tennessee and Ala*
taint have such laws in force, and, accord
ing to reports, these states now have more
game than they know what to do with. The
laws of Alabntim are particularly strlngeut.
• The Georgia law at presept provides a
license of $2o on all market huntsmen, but
(his seems to pot bat little. If any, check
on the marketing of quail. This Is due to
the fact, I suppose, that the law gives
every farmer the riant to kill birds ou bis
own land. If the sale of quail was stopped
entirely, the birds would soon Increase to
such an extent the tarmera would be beg
ging people to come oat and kill them.
••And Ir the stat% will put a license on
hunters, enough money would l»e realised to
properly pay a state game warden. Unless
wo have n good man Tn this place who will
seo that the law Is enforced its enactment
will lie of no benefit. A small license, of
say. about $1, could be placed on resident
hunters, and a larger ambunt on non-rest-
dents. The sportsmen believe that If such
laws are put In force, the sport will be
greatly Improved.**
