to this rule. Thus, Maine forbids the transportation of moose, deer, 

 and game birds from place to place unless accompanied by the 

 owner, but provides for their shipment under tags sold by the com- 

 mission of inland fisheries and game. The remaining seven States 

 permit an}^ person to ship game, but impose many restrictions with 

 regard to such matters as marking packages, shipping open to view, 

 etc. In States like Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, and Ten- 

 nessee, which have special county legislation, laws concerning ship- 

 ment of game usuall}^ relate to export from counties, though the last 

 two prohibit export of quail from the State by general law. In like 

 manner Delaware, Florida, and New York prohibit the shipment of 

 certain game from the counties where killed; but these are excep- 

 tional, all other States treating the State as a unit. New Hampshire 

 prohibits all shipment within the State of moose, caribou, and elk, 

 but permits the shipment of deer under certain conditions when 

 accompanied b}^ the owner. ^ Vermont prohibits the general trans- 

 )ortation of deer, but allows the owner to carry one deer with him, 

 )pen to view and tagged. New York, while prohibiting general trans- 

 )ortation of deer or venison from or through any county, allows one 

 jarcass to be shipped when accompanied by the owner, but does not 

 >ermit more than two deer to be transported by the same person in 

 me season. Woodcock, grouse, and quail likewise can not be trans- 

 )orted in the State or brought into the State from a point 25 miles from 

 ;he State line unless accompanied by the owner, and the latter is not 

 )ermitted to transport more than 12 each of grouse or woodcock at one 

 :ime, or 36 of each in one season.^ Connecticut likewise prohibits trans- 

 )ortation of quail, woodcock, and ruffed grouse in the State, except 

 hen accompanied by the actual owner, and limits the number of 

 •uffed grouse which may be carried in any one j'-ear to 36. Iowa per- 

 dts a person to ship to anyone within the State not more than 1 dozen 

 ^ame birds in one day during the open season, providing the shipper 

 h'st makes affidavit that the birds have not been unlawfully killed or 

 )ought and are not being shipped for sale or profit, and furnishes a 

 3opy of the affidavit to accompany the shipment for the security of the 

 iarrier. The transportation for sale of quail in South Carolina and 

 leer and upland game birds in Florida and North Dakota are also pro- 

 libited. In Florida transportation of game is further limited to the 

 carrying by hunting parties of their own game to their homes in the 

 >tate. New Brunswick forbids the transportation of moose, caribou, 

 >r deer, alive or dead, or the hides or any portion of these animals, 

 mless tagged, and accompanied by the owner. An exception is made,

 nltted to ship game from its own preserve M'ithout restriction. 

 ^ Export of game from the State is prohibited.
