Good Opportunities for Good Shooting. 



Many Game Breeding Associations 

 and Shooting Clubs throughout the coun- 

 try, which have game in abundance and 

 excellent shooting during long open sea- 

 sons, are associated with the Game Con- 

 servation Society, which publishes The 

 Game Breeder. 



Sometimes there are vacancies in one 

 or more of these splendid organizations 

 and any of our readers who wish to get 

 some good shooting can do so by joining 

 an association. Write to The Game 

 Breeder (Circulation Dept.) stating in 

 what state or locality you would prefer 

 to shoot and we will put you in the way 

 of becoming a member or at least getting 

 you on the waiting list. There are sev- 

 eral excellent Game Breeding Associa- 

 tions quite near Xew York with moder- 

 ate dues. Do not hesitate to use your 

 magazine. The Game Breeder, if you

The Jones Law. 



The new Jones law recently signed by 

 the Governor of Xew York, contains 

 some excellent provisions. (Matter in 

 italics is new.) 



1. The Commission may issue li- 

 censes to collect or possess for propaga- 

 tion, scientific or exhibition purposes, 

 and. "The Commission may also issue a 

 license revocable at pleasure to any per- 

 son, permitting such person to possess 

 any species of fish, game, birds, aquatic 

 animals or quadrupeds, protected by this 

 chapter for propagation purposes only, 

 upon payment of a license fee of one dol- 

 lar. The Commission may, in its discre- 

 tion, require a bond from such person, 

 in such sum as the Commission may de- 

 termine, conditioned that he will not 

 avail himself of the privileges of said 

 license for purposes not herein set 

 forth:' 



The commission may issue permits to 

 enable persons to ship fish, aquatic ani- 

 mals, game and quadrupeds lawfully 

 taken and possessed for propagation, 

 scientific or educational purposes, un- 

 der such regulations as the commission 

 may prescribe. 



Fish, aquatic animals, quadrupeds and 

 game lawfully possessed under this sec- 

 tion may be sold at any time, by any 

 person receiving a license under this sec- 

 tion, for propagation, scientific, educa- 

 tional or exhibition purposes only. 



2. Quadrupeds, birds or fish lawfully 

 taken and possessed in one part of the 

 State, may be transported by the taker as 

 provided by section one hundred and 

 seventy-eight of this chapter and may be 

 possessed by the taker in any part of the 

 State for the same period of time dur- 

 ing which they may be lawfully possessed 

 at the place where taken. 



3. All species of fur-bearing animals 

 protected by this chapter may be kept 

 alive in captivity at all times, etc. Every 

 person obtaining such license shall pay 

 the Commission the sum of five dollars 

 as a license fee. 



State Game Farms. 



A number of laws authorizing new 

 State game farms were enacted but it 

 was believed by those who are wise that 

 the Governor would not sign all of them. 



The N. Y. Trout Season. 



Under the Jones law the New York 

 trout season opens the first Saturday of 

 April — closes August 31st, both inclu- 

 sive. 



Important to Game Breeders.

 elk. deer, mallard ducks and black ducks 

 in any manner, at any time, but mallard
