Longer Migratory Bird
Scheduled
Washington (IB Under
secretary of Interior Hatfield
Chilson today announced new
hunting regulation proposals for
waterfowl.
Hunters of wild ducks and
geese can expect the flight of
migratory birds this fall to be
"about the same as last year,"
Chilson said.
Shooting seasons and bag and
possession limits which will be
in effect during the 1957-58
hunting period will be substan
tially the same as last year in
all flyways except in the Pacific
flyway. There the season will
be longer but bag and possession
limits on ducks will be reduced
The new federal proposals
specify by flyways the length of
the shooting season, bag and
possession limits, and shooting
hours, but do not include the
specific season dates for the
various states. These will be an
nounced later after the states
have made their selections.
The specific dates will be se
lected by state game adminis
trators within a general frame
work of Oct. 1 to Jan. 15.
Pacific Area Seasons
Shooting hours are one-half
hour before sunrise to sunset.
The framework within which
the Pacific flyway states are
permitted to recommend open
season on ducks, geese and coots:

MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE THIRTEEN
for Pacific Flyway
ington, may recommend concur
rent open seasons on ducks,
geese and coots of 95 consecu
tive full days, or two seasons ag
gregating 86 full days, within
the framework of Oct. 1 to Jan.
15.
This longer season is being
granted because the 80-day sea
sons which have been in effect
in this flyway during the last
three years have' not resulted in
an excessive harvest.
However, to guard against
any possibility of an excessive
kill of ducks as the result of the
lengthened season, the bag and
possession limits on ducks have
been reduced, respectively, by
one and two.
Within this change the Pa
cific flyway states are again af
forded the option of selecting a
single bag and possession limit
of six ducks, which may be in
creased to nine, provided such
increased limit contains not less
than three pintails, three widg
eons, or three of these "depreda
tion birds" in the aggregate of
both kinds; or, they may select
a daily bag limit of five ducks
and a possession limit of 10,
which limits may be increased
to eight and 13 respectively, pro
vided such increased limits con
tain not less- than three pin
tails, three widgeons, or three
of these species in the aggregate
of both kinds.
Limits On Geese
The daily bag and possession
limit for except Ross' geese re
mains as six with the unusual
limitation that not more than
three of. the dark species of
geese may be included in such
limits: ...
Additional restrictions on the
daily bag and possession limit

Action Starts
St. Paul, Minn. HP) Another
battle between the "old guard"
and golf's 'youngsters" shaped
up today as a star-studded field
started play in the $24,000 St.
Paul Open.
Sam Snead heads the veterans
into the 72-hole battle, while de
fending champion Mike Souchak
tops the impressive list of young
er players.
Tournament officials think the
6-year-old tournament record of
266,. 22 under par, may be a
thing of the past when the firing
is over Sunday. They point out
that Keller Golf course is in top
shape and par - should take an
all-time battering from the pros.
IS
Season
for Canada eeese- in certain
designated areas in Arizona,
California, Idaho, Nevada and
Utah will be provided.
The season for coots in th
Pacific flyway will conform to
tne season on ducks and geese,
with the usual bag and posses
sion limit in this flyway of 25
coots.
To enable hunters to. take ad
vantage of bran flights arriving
before Dec. 1, the outside dates
within which, these states may
recommend a season of 70 con
secutive days on brant ' have
been fixed at Nov. 1 to Feb. 15.
The bag and possession limit
will be 3 birds.
The 1957-58 regulations pro
vide that gallinues may be taken
with coots in the Pacific flyway
with a bag and possession limit
of 25, singly or in the aggregate
of both kinds.
