THE GAME LAW.
Extracts From an Article by Robert W,
Faulk, Chief Warden of the Louis
iana Division, League of
AmericanSportsmen.
In an interesting letter to the Monroe
Bulletin Chief Warden Faulk has the
following to say in regard to the game
law passed at the recent session of the
legislature and which was published
in these columns two weeks ago:
The fines for violations of the law
were materially reduced. The sports
men interested in framing the bill felt
that their cause was weakened by these
changes. However, the bill, as passed,
is a good one, and coupled with the
Derouen bird bill makes legislation in
Louisiana in behalf of her wild life
abreast with any of the states except
Michigan and Wisconsin.
The fish law is more rigid, and the
fines greater for violation than the
game law. Then, too, the passage of
the Larche bill did not repeal the act
of 1902, so there are two statutes pro
tecting the game fish. Buffalo, cat
fish, gar, carp and gaspargough are
not protected because they are destruc
tive of the spawn of game fish.
