GAME PROTECTION ; 133 
cent bird or animal, which is not game, in the name of 
sport, or in wantonness, or for commercial purposes. 
We are opposed to the sale of game and game fishes, 
at all times and under all circumstances. 
- We believe in reasonable bags. We believe the kill- 
ing of game and the taking of fish should be limited by 
law, not only as to seasons, but that the bag for any 
one man for a day, and for a season, should be defined 
by law. 
We believe in a gun-license law, with severe penal- 
ties for violations thereof. 
We, as individual members of this League, pledge 
ourselves to work for the education of the public, and 
especially of our boys, on the lines indicated above ; to 
cooperate with our officers, and with state or municipal 
officers, in the enforcement of game laws, whenever an 
opportunity offers.
