66 DIGEST OF GAME LAWS FOR 1901. 



Canadian laws are less restrictive. The Dominion places no restric- 

 tion on the exportation of live game, and several of the Provinces 

 authorize the proper authorities to issue licenses for shipment of game 

 intended for breeding purposes. A few States have adopted this 

 principle, and some others make exceptions in nonexport laws, or 

 permit the possession at any time of game intended for propagation. 

 These exceptions are shown in the following list:
