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

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.
