Farmers' Bulletin

📖 The Scoop

"The objects of this bulletin containing the twenty-third annual summary of Federal and other game laws and regulations are to aid in the administration of the provisions of the migratory-bird treaty act and the Lacey Act by presenting in convenient form the provisions of game legislation for the use of law-enforcement officials, sportsmen, conservationists, and others, to the end that the laws for the protection of game and birds shall be properly observed. The open season dates presented relating to migratory birds are the result of Federal and State legislation, and it is only by observing the published seasons that hunters can avoid violating either Federal or State laws, as the Federal regulations operate in may cases to shorten the seasons fixed by State statute. Provisions relating to methods of capture, game refuges, enforcement of laws, disposition of fees and fines, and matters of minor importance are omitted. These may be found by reference to the laws themselves, pamphlet editions of which are obtainable in most of the States from proper officials. Provisions relating to seasons, licenses, limits, possession, sale and export,a nd a few miscellaneous matters are presented, under State and other governments, alphabetically arranged, thereby furnishing the reader a brief and convenient synopsis of the laws." -- p. ii
