ritories, as the Lacey Act pr()hi])its, under heavy penalt}^ interstate 
connnerc(» in game killed in violation of law. Game killed by illegal 
methods can no more be shipped from State to State than that taken

LIMITS OF GAME BAGS. 
Twenty-four States have attempted to prevent wanton destruction of 
game by limiting the amount which may be killed in a da}" or season. 
These States comprise the northern tier, from Maine to Washington, 
and Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Florida, Indiana, Iowa, South Dakota, 
Nebraska, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, Califor- 
nia, and Oregon. (See PI. V.) Similar restrictions are common in the 
Canadian laws. Limits as to number have been placed mainly on big 
game and upland game birds, but in a few cases have been extended 
to woodcock, rail, and wild fowl. In Colorado, North Dakota, and 
Nebraska practically all the game of the State is limited, while in 
Iowa the limit applies to game birds, but not to big game. Michigan, 
New Hampshire, Utah, and Wisconsin limit only the number of deer, 
three being allowed each hunter in Michigan and two in New Hamp- 
shire, Wisconsin, and Utah. The highest limit for big game is in 
Montana, where six deer or mountain goats ma}^ be killed in a season. 
Tfie maximum for any species of game bird in a da}' is 70 sandpipers 
in Maine, but the usual limit is 25 or 50. 
Limits of a similar character and for the same object are also placed 
by several States on the numlxn* of birds which may be shipped at one 
time or in one season, usually corresponding to the number that may 
be killed, but seldom, in any event, exceeding 50 at a time. Florida 
prescriluvs the limit not only for each person, })ut also for each party, 
in ordei' to prevent evasion of the law by several persons hunting 
together. Thus, four wild turkeys may l)e killed in a day ])V one 
person, l)nt not more than six by a party. The following table shows 
the details of these restrictions:
