 LAND, RELATING TO TRAPPING, OPEN SEASONS, PROPAGATION, AND BOUNTIES. 



LEGISLATION OF I919. 



Twenty-nine of the 44 States which held legislative sessions this year 

 enacted laws relative to fur-bearing animals. The general tendency was 

 to increase restrictions and afford greater protection to the animals. 

 Laws fixing State seasons on fur animals were enacted in Alabama, Idaho, 

 and South Carolina, and trapping licenses were prescribed in Alabama, 

 Arizona, Idaho, Illinois, Minnesota (residents), Nebraska, Ohio, and 

 South Carolina. Details of the more important new laws are included in 

 the following summaries under States and Provinces. 



Alabama. — A general act prescribes a close season on beaver, otter, 

 bear, fox, raccoon, opossum, mink, and muskrat from March 1 to October 

 31, requires a $10 trapping license, and makes it unlawful to trap on the 

 lands of another without written permission. Other provisions of the act 

 permit a land owner to protect his premises from the depredations of fur 

 animals, and to trap on his own lands during the open season without a 

 license. 



Arizona. — Beaver are protected until December 31, 1922; a license 

 (fee, $2.50) is required of persons over 18 years of age to hunt or trap fur or
