Arr.UST 14, 1935. i - . i . 1 ' Drastic Restrictions Im posed to Reduce Annual Slaughter Baiting of Water or Land Prohibited Duck hunters will have 30 days for hooting this fall, but they will hunt In accordance with the most rigid t regulations In the history of Ameri can wlldfowllng. 8o says the U. 8. Biological Survey In summarizing new Mlgatory Bird Vreaty act regulations announced August 1 by the U. S. Department of Agriculture. Recommended by the biological survey and adopted by R. G. Tugwell as acting secretary of ag riculture, the regulations were ap proved In a proclamation by Presi dent Roosevelt on July 30. The new regulations, says the bio logical survey, are based on the necessity of having a net annual In crease left over at the end of the shooting season until the depicted population of migratory waterfowl Is restored to normal. This year's rigid restrictions, which follow a period of approximately 35 years during which the kill each year has exceeded the annual Increase from breeding, are summarized by the bureau, as fol lows: Some Snellen Faored Those species which are nearest the danger point of extinction, such as eanvasbacks and redheads, will be particularly favored by the elimina tion of sink-boxes, sneak boats, and open-water shooting, practices which have been the chief methods of tak ing these spectes. Shooting over baited water or land, which has furnished the heaviest toll from all spectes and accounted for the most consistent full bsg limits, will he prohibited. Live decoys, one of the most effec tive methods of luring the migratory flocks to the blind, are also ruled out. None will be allowed. Zoning of states by seasons will be ' eliminated, and there will be only two zones, northern and southern. Shooting will be restricted to the hours between 7 a.m. and 4 p.m. Some bag limits have been reduced. The possession of more than one day's bag haa been made illegal. Shells Limited The 3-shell limit placed on auto loading and repeating shotguns last February will take effect for the first time this fall, and the new regula tions provide that hunters may use a shotgun only, not larger than No. 10 Adoption of a short Minting season with heavy restrictions, says the bto t logical survey, was the only alterna tive to a completely closed season. Though advocated by a considerable body of conservationists, Including leading sportsmen and sportsmen's organizations, a closed season was considered Ill-advised. Reports from bureau Investigators on the breeding grounds Indicated that the needed net annual Increase would be insured by a short season with heavy restric tions. Complete prohibition of shoot ing thus seemed unnecessary, and the bureau knew that complete prohibi tion would be difficult to enforce. Loss of public support of the regula tions and a breakdown of local en forcement through the cutting off of state operating revenues from the sale of hunting licenses were other obstacles to a closed season. Protects Expected There wll be violent protests, the bureau expects, from those who be lieve the season should be closed en tirely and equally loud complaints from those shooters who believe the biological survey is being over-cautious. ' The regulations, says the bureau, " are not the result of an effort to find a satisfactory compromise between the two extremes. The principles that dictated the regulations. It Is ex plained, are based on a mathematical progression toward restoration with out breaking down existing law-enforcement organizations, either state or federal, by the Imposition of an impossible load. Season to Open October 21 The 30-day shooting season, apply ing to geese, brant, Jacksnipe, and coot, as well as to ducks, will open In northern states on October 21 and win close on November 19. In south ern states the season will run from November 30 to December 1. States In the northern zone are Maine. New Hampshire. Vermont, Massachusetts. Rhode Island, Con necticut. New York (including Long Island). Pennsylvania. West Virginia. Ohio. Michigan. Indiana. Illinois. Wisconsin. Minnesota. Iowa, Mis f scurl. North Dakota .South Dakota. Nebraska. Kansas. Montana.

Mississip pi, Kentucky, Tennessee. Arkansas. Louisiana. Oklahoma. Texas. New Mexico, Arizona, and California. In Alaka we.t of the I41st mer idian the season will open on Sep tember 1 and close on September 30. In the rest of the territory the season will be September 30 to Oct ober 19. No open sesKin Is allowed on wood ducks, ruddy ducks, bufflehead ducks, Pos' eee. or swans, and no shoot ire of snow geese Is permitted In Florida or In states north thereof bordering on the Atlantic ocean. The former prohibition of brant hunting In the eat has ben removed. y Hag 1 1mlf. hancd The nr reulauon place th dally bag limit on ducka at 10 in -'in 14 i - I i f'fil III f - 1 1 - v O- i.rf. - Jl I '.

Changes, saya the biological survey, represent a reduc tion of two In the daily bag and of 14 In the possession limit of the common species, but extra restric tions on certain species have been removed. Bag limits on geese and brant re main at four, but the possession limits have been cut In half, now conforming to the bag limits. The bag and possession limits on other species affected by the regula tions are as follows: Coot, 15: Jack snipe, 15; sora, 25; rails except sora and coot), 16; woodcock, four; mourn ing dove. 20; band-tailed pigeon, 10. Hunting Methods Restricted The prohibition of baiting Includ ed in the new regulations, says the bureau, applies to waterfowl and to mourning doves and provides that these birds "are not permitted to be taken with or by aid of corn, wheat, oats, or other grain or products thereof, salt or any kind of feed by whomsoever, or for whatsoever pur pose, placed, deposited, distributed, scattered, or otherwise put out in any environment whatsoever, whereby such waterfowl or doves are lured, attracted, or enticed to the hunter." No live decoys may be used In the taking of any species of waterfowl. The regulation prescribing means by which migratory game birds may be taken limits the use of "a blind, boat or floating craft of any kind" to locations "not more than 100 feet from the shore Una as determined by ordinary high tide or, where there is continuous natural growth or veg etation extending beyond such shore line, not more than 100 feet from such growth or vegetation protruding above the surface of the water at the time of taking auch birds." In accordance with an exception, how ever, scoters, or sea coots, may be taken In coastal waters without ref erence to the distance limitation. This regulation prohibits entirely the taking of migratory game birds "from or by aid pt an automobile, airplane, slnkbox (battery), power boat, sailboat, any boat under sail, any floating craft or device of any kind towed by power boat or sail boat." A limitation of weapons that may be used provides that the birds may be taken "with a shotgun only, not larger than No. 10 gauge, fired from the shoulder." Incorporating the pro visions of President Root.evelt'8 pro clamation providing a 3-shell limit last February, this regulation also provides that the birds "shall not be taken with or by means of any automatic-loading or hand-operated repeating shotgun capable of hold ing more than three shells the mag azine of which had not been cut off. or plugged with a 1 -piece metal or wooden filler Incapable of removal through the loading end thereof, so as to reduce the capacity of aald gun to not more than three shells at one loading." Seasons Set New seasons on mourning doves provide for shooting In northern states from September 1 to December 15 and In southern states from Oct ober 1 to January 15. This provision, saya the biological survey, eliminates September shooting in the south and thus prevents the killing of many immature birds. The northern zone for dove hunt ing includes Illinois. Missouri, Min nesota, Nebraska, Kansas, Colorado, Idaho, Utah, Oregon, and Nevada. The southern states are Delaware. Maryland. Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina. Georgia. Florida. Ala bama, Mississippi. Kentuckv.
