to this rule. Thus, ]\Iaine forbids the transportation of moose, deer, 
and game birds from place to place unless accompanied ))y the 
owner, but provides for their shipment under tags sold by the com- 
mission of inland fisheries and game. The remaining seven States 
permit any person to ship game, but impose many restrictions with 
regard to such matters as marking packages, shipping open to view, 
etc. In States like Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, and Ten- 
nessee, which have special county legislation, laws concerning ship- 
ment of game usualh' relate to export from counties, though the last 
two prohibit export of quail from the State bv general law. In like 
manner Delaware, Florida, and New York prohibit the shipment of 
certain game from the counties where killed; but these are excep- 
tional, all other States treating the State as a unit. New Hampshire 
prohibits all shipment within the State of moose, caribou, and elk, 
but permits the shipment of deer under certain conditions when 
accompanied b}* the owner. ^ Vermont prohibits the general trans- 
portation of deer, but allows the owner to carry one deer with him, 
open to view and tagged. New York, while prohibiting general trans- 
portation of deer or venison from or through any county, allows one 
carcass to be shipped when accompanied by the owner, but does not 
permit more than two deer to be transported by the same person in 
one season. Woodcock, grouse, and quail likewise can not be trans- 
ported in the State or brought into the State from a point 25 miles from 
the State line unless accompanied by the owner, and the latter is not 
permitted to transport more than 12 each of grouse or woodcock at one 
time, or 36 of each in one season."^ Connecticut likewise prohibits trans- 
portation of quail, woodcock, and ruffed grouse in the State, except 
when accompanied by the actual owner, and limits the number of 
ruffed grouse which ma}^ be carried in any one year to 36. Iowa per- 
mits a person to ship to an3^one within the State not more than 1 dozen 
game birds in one day during the open season, pi'oviding the shipper 
first makes affidavit that the birds have not been unlawfully killed or 
bought and are not being shipped for sale or profit, and furnishes a 
copy of the affidavit to accompany the shipment for the security of the 
carrier. The transportation for sale of quail in South Carolina and 
deer and upland game birds in Florida and North Dakota are also pro- 
hibited. In Florida transportation of game is further limited to the 
carr^'ing b}^ hunting parties of their own game to their homes in the 
State. New Brunswick forbids the transportation of moose, caribou, 
or deer, alive or dead, or the hides or any portion of these animals, 
unless tagged, and accompanied by the owner. An exception is made,

mitted to ship game from its own preserve without restriction.
