GAME LAWS FOK 1913. 43 
port two deer x in a year at certain ports within 15 days after the 
close of the open season, under permit of the collector of customs of 
the port from which export is made. The ports of export are: Hali- 
fax and Yarmouth, Nova Scotia; Macadam Junction, New Bruns- 
wick; Quebec and Montreal, Quebec; Ottawa, Kingston, Niagara 
Falls, Fort Erie, .Windsor, Sault Ste. Marie, and Port Arthur, Ontario ; 
and such others as the minister of customs may designate. 
Those who visit Canada to hunt, camp, etc., must deposit with the 
customs officer at the port of entry an amount equal to the duty (30 
per cent of appraised value) on their guns, canoes, tents, cooking uten- 
sils, and kodaks. If these articles are taken out within six months at 
the same port, the deposit will be returned. But members of shoot- 
ing or fishing clubs that own preserves in Canada and have filed a 
guaranty with the Canadian commissioner of customs may present 
club membership certificates in lieu of making the deposit. They 
must, however, pay duty on all ammunition and provisions. 
SALE. 
Legislation restricting the sale of game is passing through a transi- 
tion stage. Some States prohibit the sale of game throughout the 
year, others only in close season, and between these extremes may be 
found all gradations and exceptions, such as restrictions prohibiting 
sale of game outside the State or for export, and exemptions allowing 
sale for a few days in the close season. The difficulty of tabulating 
such regulations is increased by the fact that in addition to the special 
sale laws, close seasons and provisions regarding possession must be 
taken into consideration. In consulting the following summary, 
therefore, it will be necessary to bear in mind three different classes 
of restrictions: "Sale in close season," "Sale in open season," and 
"Sale prohibited all the year." 
SALE IN CLOSE SEASON. 
In general, the sale of game is prohibited during the close season 
but a brief additional open period is sometimes provided in order to 
permit dealers to close out stock on hand at the end of the hunting 
season. In Louisiana an extension of three days is allowed. In 
Colorado, Illinois, Tennessee, and British Columbia the sale season 
includes the open season and the following five days for all or certain 
kinds of game. An extension of 10 days for sale is added to the 
open season in New Brunswick ; 15 days in Alaska, New Jersey, and 
Quebec; 30 days in Pennsjdvania; 60 days in Yukon; 3 months (for 
geese and brant) in New Brunswick; and until the following 1st of 
January in Ontario.
