LICENSES FOE HUNTING OR SHIPPING GAME. 47 



ish Columbia demands $50 for a big-game license and Newfoundland 

 $80 for a special caribou license. Minnesota has a special license with 

 a fee of $25 for nonresidents from States that issue nonresident licenses ; 

 these States are shown in the table. (See PI. Yl.) 



Licenses are generally issued only for the season, and thus expire 

 at a fixed date. In six States — Florida, Iowa, Maryland, South Da- 

 kota, Washington, and West Virginia — they are good only in a single 

 county, and the fees for these county licenses vary from $1 to $25. 

 In Nebraska a resident is required to secure a license to hunt in 

 any county other than that in which he resides. In Maryland there is 

 much variation, as each county is subject to a separate law; Allegany, 

 Anne Arundel, Calvert, Frederick, Montgomery, Washington, Wico- 

 mico, and Worcester counties have no license laws. Some of the 

 counties of Maryland and Virginia require nonresidents to secure 

 permission from landowners before hunting, and in North Carolina a 

 general provision (Code of 1883, sec. 2831) prohibits anyone from 

 hunting on lands of another without permission from the owner. 

 Certain counties in North Carolina go farther and require hunters to 

 obtain written permits.^ Occasionally the hunting privileges covered 

 by these permits are sold to nonresidents in return for payment of 

 taxes on the land or other consideration, and the permit becomes in 

 effect a kind of nonresident license, but with this difference, that it 

 allows shooting only on a certain tract of land instead of in the whole 

 county or State. 



In some States licenses are required only for hunting certain kinds of 

 game. Thus in Michigan they are issued only for hunting deer, in 

 Maine for deer and moose, in Florida for deer, quail, and turkeys, 

 and in South Dakota for big game. In part of Dare County, N. C. , 

 license fees of $25 are required of club houses before members may 

 shoot wild fowl.^ In Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Maine, and Wisconsin 

 licenses carr}^ with them the privilege of shipping out of the State a 

 limited amount of game, but generally require that it shall be prop- 

 erly marked or accompanied by the owner. In Maine dealers are 

 obliged to secure licenses before they can sell deer or bu}", sell, or tan 

 deer skins, and in Arkansas ^ and Oregon licenses are issued to non- 

 resident market hunters. Georgia permits its counties to require a 



^The following counties require written permission for hunting on lands other 

 than those of the owner: Alexander, Alleghany, Buncombe (birds), Caswell, Clay, 

 Craven, Davidson, Edgecombe, Franklin, Halifax, Henderson, Iredell (birds), Lin- 

 coln (birds), Macon, Madison (quail), Mitchell (deer), Orange, Richmond (Steeles 

 Township), Rowan, Scotland, Surry (quail), Wilkes. 



^But any citizen of the county may obtain a ' nonresidence license' on payment 

 of $10. 



^Arkansas levies a tax of $10 upon all nonresident trappers, hunters, seiners, or 

 netters of fish who may follow trapping, hunting, seining, or netting of fish in the 

 State. (Mansfield's Digest, sees. 6456-6457.)
