﻿GAME LAWS FOR 1913. 43 



port two deer 1 in a year at certain ports within 15 days after the 

 close of the open season, under permit of the collector of customs of 

 the port from which export is made. The ports of export are: Hali- 

 fax and Yarmouth, Nova Scotia; Macadam Junction, New Bruns- 

 wick; Quebec and Montreal, Quebec; Ottawa, Kingston, Niagara 

 Falls, Fort Erie, Windsor, Sault Ste. Marie, and Port Arthur, Ontario ; 

 and such others as the minister of customs may designate. 



Those who visit Canada to hunt, camp, etc., must deposit with the 

 customs officer at the port of entry an amount equal to the duty (30 

 per cent of appraised value) on their guns, canoes, tents, cooking uten- 

 sils, and kodaks. If these articles are taken out within six months at 

 the same port, the deposit will be returned. But members of snoot- 

 ing or fishing clubs that own preserves in Canada and have filed a 

 guaranty with the Canadian commissioner of customs may present 

 club membership certificates in lieu of making the deposit. They 

 must, however, pay duty on all ammunition and provisions. 



SALE. 



Legislation restricting the sale of game is passing through a transi- 

 tion stage. Some States prohibit the sale of game throughout the 

 year, others only in close season, and between these extremes may be 

 found all gradations and exceptions, such as restrictions prohibiting 

 sale of game outside the State or for export, and exemptions allowing 

 sale for a few days in the close season. The difficulty of tabulating 

 such regulations is increased by the fact that in addition to the special 

 sale laws, close seasons and provisions regarding possession must be 

 taken into consideration. In consulting the following summary, 

 therefore, it will be necessary to bear in mind three different classes 

 of restrictions: "Sale in close season," "Sale in open season," and 

 "Sale prohibited all the year." 



SALE IN CLOSE SEASON. 



In general, the sale of game is prohibited during the close season 

 but a brief additional open period is sometimes provided in order to 

 permit dealers to close out stock on hand at the end of the hunting 

 season. In Louisiana an extension of three days is allowed. In 

 Colorado, Illinois, Tennessee, and British Columbia the sale season 

 includes the open season and the following five days for all or certain 

 kinds of game. An extension of 10 days for sale is added to the 

 open season in New Brunswick ; 15 days in Alaska, New Jersey, and 

 Quebec; 30 days in Pennsylvania; 60 days in Yukon; 3 months (for 

 geese and brant) in New Brunswick; and until the following 1st of 

 January in Ontario.
