COURSE TO PURSUE. 
Legal action —In fish and game violation legal action 
will be criminal only. Whenever this can be done in 
cooperation with the State Fish and Game Commission 
or their wardens effectively, and without excess cost in 
time and money to the service, it should be done. Their 
cooperation will often divide the time and cost of the 
necessary work. 
In some cases, however, their men may not be located 
so that they can promptly undertake specific investiga¬

which may require independent action, since it has been 
ruled by the courts that these refuges must be properly 
posted and patrolled before action against offenders upon 
them is possible in the State courts. Action in such cases 
may be taken, under Regulation T-7, in the Federal 
court, provided the offender can be caught on Govern¬ 
ment land, and that fact proved to the court.
