60 DIGEST OF GAME LAWS FOE 1901. 



however, in the case of scientific specimens and breeding stock, which 

 may be transported under special permit of the surve3^or-general. 

 Nevada includes transjporting among the prohibitions concerning all 

 big game except male deer and antelope. Nebraska and Wisconsin 

 prohibit the transportation of all game protected by the State; Texas, 

 all domestic game; Wyoming, big game only; Kansas and Iowa, game 

 birds only; Connecticut, upland game birds only; Missouri, upland 

 game birds and deer; Vermont and Michigan, deer alone; Delaware, 

 rabbits, quail, woodcock, and snipe, and Minnesota, all protected birds 

 except woodcock and upland plover. 



EXPORT FROM THE STATE. 



Since the constitutionality of the Connecticut statute prohibiting 

 export of certain game was established by the Supreme Court in 1896,^ 

 nonexport laws have been generally adopted, and at the present time 

 nearly every State prohibits the export of certain kinds of game. (See 

 PL VIII.) Kentucky, Louisiana, and Mississippi seem to have no 

 such laws; Virginia also has no general State law, but several of the 

 counties prohibit shipment. 



In Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, 

 Iowa, Nebraska, South Dakota, Wyoming, Colorado, Newfoundland, 

 and possibly a few other States, sportsmen are allowed to carry a 

 limited amount of game out of the State under special restrictions. 

 In a few States exceptions to the laws prohibiting export are also 

 made in the case of birds and animals intended for propagation. (See 

 pp. 65-67.) 



Deer can not be lawfully exported from Alabama, Florida, any of 

 the States or Territories west of the Mississippi (except Montana, 

 Kansas, Iowa, and Louisiana), or any of the States north of the Ohio 

 and Potomac rivers (except Illinois, Ohio, Delaware, New Jersey, 

 Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts). In Montana they can 

 not be sold; in Delaware they do not occur, and in Illinois, Iowa, New 

 Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island they are pro- 

 tected at all seasons indefinitel}^ or for a term of years. The ship- 

 ment of deer hides is prohibited by special provisions in the laws of 

 California, Florida, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, and Wyoming; 

 Washington and British Columbia prohibit killing deer for hides, and 

 Ontario, British Columbia, New Brunswick, and Newfoundland allow 

 shipment of green hides only under license. The shipping of other 

 big game is so generally prohibited that, although antelope and elk 

 may still be killed in half a dozen western States, they can not be 

 exported. Consequently the sale of either antelope or elk in any 

 market east of the Mississippi River is evidence of violation of law, 

 at least on the part of the shipper.
