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

biological survey, represent a reduc

common species, but extra restric

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
