Editor RECREATION: 
As I promised you at the sportsmen’s 
show I would inform you in regard to the 
game laws enacted by our present legisla- 
ture, I take this opportunity of doing so. 
Some of the bills proposed by the League 
of American Sportsmen were not favor- 
ably received, as they were too advanced 
for a legislature with the make-up of ours. 
We had an excellent fish and game com- 
mittee, composed of gentlemen who tried 
to give the state what they thought was 
best, and they would have given us much 
better than they did if it had been possible 
to get the bills through the general as- 
sembly. 
We tried hard to pass the bill prohibit- 
ing the sale of game, but that was impos- 
sible. We succeeded, however, in pass- 
in a law prohibiting the snaring of game, 
which is a long step forward. 
We changed the opening of the hunting 
season to the Ist of October and the clos- 
ing to the Ist of December, thinking in 
ing the season.

this way to save a good many birds from 
the pot hunter during that time of the 
year when they can be easily tracked in 
the snow. 
We made the closing season on rabbits 
as on other game, not because we thought 
the rabbits needed protection, but under 
the new law no man will have an excuse 
for carrying a gun in the woods at any 
other time than during October and No- 
vember. 
We succeeded in getting a limit to the 
number of grouse to be shot in a day dur-

change in the ferret law. 
On the whole, we think we have made 
considerable progress. There is undoubt- 
edly a great desire in this state for some 
stringent measures in regard to game 
protection, and I hope before another 2 
years has passed by that public sentiment 
may be such that we can pass a bill pro- 
hibiting the sale of game. ; 
In regard to fish, there was a number 
of minor bills passed, but the only im- 
portant one was that which prohibited the 
taking of more than 30 trout in one day. 
This was somewhat ridiculed by some of 
the members of the legislature, but I think 
it will have a good deal of moral, if not 
so much legal effect. 
F. P. Sherwood. 
Mr. Sherwood is a member of the legis- 
lature and I trust may be reélected as 
often as he wants to be. The cause of 
game protection will always be safe in his 
hands. EDITOR. 

A VERMONT KICKER. 
Replying to severai circular letters you 
‘have sent me: My failure to renew my 
membership in the L. A. S. is not due 
to oversight, as you suggest, but is in- 
tentional. The reason is this: Some time 
ago a game warden in New Jersey shot 
an Italian, and, if we may believe the re- 
port in RECREATION, purely in self-defense 
—an act justifiable the world over. The 
warden was, I learn, sentenced to 20 years 
in prison, and is still serving sentence. I 
have not been able to learn that the 
League gave him any assistance. In fact, 
it appears he got the cold shoulder. 
There are men in the League powerful 
enough to prevent so gross an injustice if 
they chose; but it seems nothing is to be 
done. It is a disgrace to the state of 
New Jersey, and especially to the L. A. S. 
I believe I was a charter member, and 
have induced some few people to join. I 
am heartily in sympathy with the objects 
and purposes of the League; but while 
that warden is in prison don’t ask me to 
renew my membership.
