The killing of wild turkey hen
or roe or fawn deer for a period of
five years is prohibited.
There must be no hunting of
doves, quail, snipe, woodcock, tur
keys, plovers, or wood summer
duck on Thanksgiving Day. The
seasons for all of these begins on
December 1. Deer and squirrels
can only be hunted on Thanksgiv
ing Day. This change in the seas
on may seem a bit hard at first, but
it was deemed wise to make it on
account of the number of birds
slaughtered on the day of thanks
and during the month of November.
No one person may kill more
than three buck deer nor more than
three wild turkey gobblers during
one season. No person may kill
more than 25 quail or other game
bird except doves and snipe in one
day, and may kill only 40 doves or
snipe.
The sale of game is prohibited.
The purchase of game is also pro
hibited and a healthy fine or chain
gang sentence is provided for viola
tors of this provision. The measure
also prohibits the shipping of game
either without the limits of the state
or from county to county, except
where hunters accompany the game
which they themselves have killed.
Each non-resident must pay a j
license of sls per season and each 1

resident hunter must pay $1 for a
county license or $3 for a state li
cense. Each hunter must carry
this license in bis pocket while hunt
ing and exhibit it promptly on the
request o( any game warden or ex
officio warden. A penalty is pro
vided for those who lend their li
cense to one another.
The prohibition of nest'robbing is
provided for either of the game of
nop-game birds, and the killing of
non-game birds, is prohibited ex
cept English sparrows, owls, hawks,
eagles, crows and rice birds.
Strong penalties are provided for
those who kill, capture or wound
any game bird or animal by the use
of any pitfall, deadfall, snare, trap,
net, pen or other device, or by the
use of poison, drug or explosive, or
who hunt, catch or kill them at
night.
The measure prohibits the hunt
ing or fishing on the land of anoth
er with or without a license with
out having first obtained permission
from the land owner. Many sports
men have kicked against this clause
and many have blamed it for the
defeat of the Davis bill. If looked
at in the right light it will be seen
that it will work no hardship on
the sportsmen. It is an easy mat
ter for one to obtain permission to
hunt on a man’s land, if he is a de
cent sportsman, but on the other
hand, if he is a pot hunter or a
reckless shot, the land owner can
keep him off. This provision gives
'the white land owner a chance to
