HUNTERS MUST WEAR LICENSE TAG. 
Editor Forest and Stream: 
I write you today regarding a matter of great 
importance to hunters in Pennsylvania and refer 
to the wearing of the tag, bearing the number 
of the license issued to a hunter, and would say 
under the provisions of the act of April 17, 1913, 
P. L. 85—the Resident Hunter’s License law— 
it is just as important that the tag be worn as 
provided by the law—“on the arm, between the 
shoulder and the elbow”—as it is to secure the 
license and carry same when hunting. We are 
afraid there may be some hunters who may 
disregard this provision of law, and through your 
columns we want to caution all licensed hunters 
to be sure to wear the tag, accompanying all 
licenses, as provided for by law. The state has 
provided quite sufficient of the license blanks
