ADULT BUCKS HORNS 



IMMATURE BUCK 



Your Antelope Permit is 

 Enclosed Herewith 



The area open to antelope hunting in 

 Modoc and Lassen counties only, is outlined 

 on the reverse side of your permit. You must 

 report at checking station before hunting 

 and check out when through hunting, at 

 that time turning in your antelope report 

 card. 



Hunters are cautioned to exercise great 

 care while in the field. Remember you are 

 in stock country and for the most part hunt- 

 ing on private property. You are the guest 

 of the landowner and as such should conduct 

 yourself so as not to damage livestock, water 

 holes, fences, or other property. Do not 

 make camp near stock watering places, leave 

 gates open, or otherwise make a nuisance of 

 yourself. 



Your conduct may be the deciding 

 factor as to -whether we will ever have 

 another antelope season. 



Remember the Following: 



-^ No shooting from cars. 



■^ No chasing with cars. 



■< No male antelope to be shot with horns 

 shorter than ears. 



■< No female antelope shall be shot. 



M No camping near stock water. 



-^ No transfer of permits. 



■^ Remember you must check in at check- 

 ing stations and after hunting check 

 out, turning in your card report. 



■^ Do not bring friends with you who have 

 no permits. 



■M Do not leave gates open. 



•^ Do not make a nuisance of yourself. 



M Hunting license must bear antelope per- 

 mit number. 



M Evidence of sex must be left on hide. 



•^ Hide must be retained for ten days after 

 close of season. 



■M Antelope, unlike deer, have a gall bladder, 

 so look for it when you dress your 

 animal. 



Ticks in antelope areas carry spotted 

 fever; watch for them. If ticks do not 

 stay on you more than 3 hours there is 

 little danger.
