Please let me take issue with your de- 
cision against W. V. H., ‘““Were we poach- 
ing?’ September number. I was some 
years ago hunting and fishing with a 
party, in Washington county, Fla. We 
were arrested for violating a non-resident 
law. We paid the fine and appealed the 
case, entering a demurrer that the State 
law was in violation of the constitution of 
the United States, which guarantees to 
the citizen of every State equal rights on 
the public domain. The court sustained 
our demurrer, the case was dismissed, and 
money refunded. It is against public pol- 
icy that counties and States should legis- 
late against citizens of other counties and 
States. Land ownership, if private, is sa- 
cred to the whims or will of its owner. 
If public then rights should be as broad 
as our government and non-resident laws 
should be attacked and voided.

I regret I cannot agree with Mr. Co- 
mer. The supreme court of the United 
States and the supreme courts of several 
of the States have decided that the game in 
any State belongs to the people of that 
State: that they have a right to say who 
may and who may not kill the game, and 
in the case of non-residents whether the 
game may be transported out of the State 
after being killed. These decisions have

been published several times in RECREA- 
TION. It would seem therefore that the 
Florida court which adjudicated the case 
above referred to acted in direct contra- 
diction of these various higher courts. 
If game were abundant everywhere, and 
if there were no probability of its ever 
being less abundant, then I should be in 
favor of giving all decent sportsmen the 
privilege of killing it at all times and in 
all places; but at the present rate at which 
tls game is being wiped out I am in favor 
of every lawful measure that will give the 
game a better chance than it now has for 
existence. EDITOR.
