OPEN SEASONS FOR GAME, 1925-26 
(Compiled by Grorce A. Lawyer, Chief U. S. Game Warden, and Frank L. Earnsnaw, Assistant, Interstate Commerce in Game, Bureau of Biological Survey] 
THE OPEN SEASONS HERE SHOWN INCLUDE BOTH DATES. When the season is closed for a fixed period the date terminating the close season is given. 
County seasons in North Carolina may be learned on application to the Legislative Reference Librarian, Raleigh, or Secretary, Audubon Society, Raleigh, N. C. Local seasons in Idaho will be published in the 
Farmers’ Bulletin on ‘‘Game Laws for the Season 1925-26,” 
CONSULT FEDERAL AND STATE LAWS in regard to sunset and sunrise provisions as the Federal law prohibits hunting migratory game birds from sunset to half an hour before sunrise, and some States further 
restrict the shooting hours. 
The term “rabbit’ includes hare; “quail,” the bird known as “partridge” in the South; “grouse” includes Canada grouse, sharp-tailed grouse, ruffed grouse (mown as “partridge” in the North and “pheasant” 

in the South), and all other members of the family except prairie chickens, ptarmigan, and sage hens; ‘introduced pheasant” is restricted to the Old World pheasants. 
PERSONS ARE ADVISED to obtain from State game commissioners the full tert of game laws in States where hunting is contemplated, as provisions of minor importance are omitted from this poster. 
Bulletin on ‘‘Game Laws for the Season 1925-26,” and a directory of game protection officials may be had free on application to the Secretary of Agriculture, Washington, D. C.
