EXPORT FROM THE STATE. 
Since the constitutionality of the Connecticut statute prohibiting 
export of certain game was established by the Supreme Court in 1896,^ 
nonexport laws have been generally adopted, and at the present time 
nearly every State prohibits the export of certain kinds of game. (See 
PI. VIII.) Kentucky, Louisiana, and Mississippi seem to have no 
such laws; Virginia also has no general State law, but several of the 
counties prohibit shipment. 
In ]Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, 
Iowa, Nebraska, South Dakota, Wyoming, Colorado. Newfoundland, 
and possibly a few other States, sportsmen are allowed to carry a 
limited amount of game out of the State under special restrictions. 
In a fcAV States exceptions to the laws prohibiting export are also 
made in the case of birds and animals intended for propagation. (See 
pp. 65-67.) 
Deer can not be lawfully exported from Alabama, Florida, any of 
the States or Territories west of the Mississippi (except Montiina, 
Kansas, Iowa, and Louisiana), or any of the States north of the Ohio 
and Potomac rivers (except Illinois, Ohio, Delaware, New Jerse}^, 
Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts). In Montana they can 
not be sold; in Delaware they do not occur, and in Illinois, Iowa, New 
Jersey, Connecticut, ^Massachusetts, and Rhode Island they are pro- 
tected at all seasons indetinitel}" or for a term of years. The ship- 
ment of deer hides is prohibited by special provisions in the laws of 
California, P'lorida, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, and Wyoming; 
Washington and British Columbia prohibit killing deer for hides, and 
Ontario, British Columbia, New Brunswick, and Newfoundland allow 
shipment of green hides only under license. The shipping of other 
big game is so generally prohibited that, although antelope and elk 
may still be killed in half a dozen western States, they can not be 
exported. C'onsecpiently the sale of either antelope or elk in any 
market east of the Mississippi River is evidence of violation of law, 
at least on the part of the shipper.
