Game Laws for the Season 1935-36

Résumé du livre

The thirty-sixth annual summary by the Bureau of Biological Survey of Federal and other game laws and regulations is here presented to inform hunters, farmers, and others interested in wildlife regarding the relation of restrictions on hunting to the future enjoyment of the sport and to aid Federal and State law-enforcement officials in the administration of the Migratory Bird Treaty and Lacey Acts and other laws for the conservation and restoration of game. It constitutes in ready-reference form a convenient synopsis of the laws. Provisions relating to methods of capture, game refuges, enforcement of laws, disposition of fees and fines, and minor matters are omitted, as also are full texts of Federal and Canadian laws and regulations relating to birds and game. Species not listed under 'open seasons' for States and Provinces are protected there at all times. Persons desiring Information regarding further restrictions set by State or Provincial law or regulation on seasons, limits, possession, and other hunting provisions should communicate with the appropriate officials, whose addresses are given on page 37 of this bulletin. The illustration on the title-page is reproduced from an adaptation of a drawing made by Frank W. Benson for use in designing the Federal migratory-bird hunting stamp for this season. The ducks shown are canvasbacks (Nyroca valisineria).
