NEW STATE GAME LAW COMPLEX AND COMPLETE. Wyoming Socrtaraat Must Study Statute Enacted by! Before Laying Claim to Information That Will Stay Arrest (Special to The Tribune.) CHEYENNE, Feb. 23.— The Wyoming sportsman who fondly imagines he has a working knowledge. of the state game laws is mistaken, badly mistaken, unless he has studied House Bill 211 of the Sixteenth legislature, which in its enacted form provides a completely new and very different set of game laws. The sportman who had a working knowl- edge of the old game laws and woo has not studied House Bill 211 does- n't know the first thing about the present Wyoming game laws. It be- bristle with prohibitions, regulations, restrictions, mandates and pains and penalties—especially the latter. There | Bill 211 than ever before incorporated in one Wyoming act ar probably ever |again will be incorporated in one Wy- oming act. It would be easier to relate how House Bill 211 did not change the old game laws than to enumerate how it has changed them. This article will deal with some of the outstanding fea- tures: of the new laws, but by no do in regard to Wyoming's game ani- ™mals, gamé birds and game fish, and how he shall or shall not do it, must enalyze the new laws for himself, ani having analyzed them he will be wise if he goes a step further and consults the state game and fish commissioner regarding whether his interpretation of the almost innumerable and highly confusing prohibitions, permits and procedures are correct. To begin with, House Bill 211 pro- vides that “All wild animals, birds and fish, both resident and migratory shall be and are hereby declared to be the property of the State of Wyon ing.” That clause settles the state's authority to do as it seess fit with fish. Section 2 defines game game birds and game fish as follows “For the purposes of this act, in the words ‘Game Animals, Game Fish or Game Birds’ are used, su words shall be construed as meaning any elk, deer mountain sheep, wild goats, antelope, bear or moose within the state, and the words ‘Game Fis’' shall be construed as meaning trout, greyling, pike or bass, within the state, and the words ‘Game Birds’ shall be construed as meaning any o: the birds specified in Sections 52, 54 and 55 of this act.” The birds sp ified’ in the sections listed include snipe, sand pipers, plover, tatlecs, willets, curlews, godwits, avoclets, coots, mud-hens, ducks, geese, sage hens, sage chickens, grouse, Mongol-| jan pheasants and quail. It is inter. jesting to note in passing that under |this defination section a moose might |be considered a “game fish” take cognizance at this point that th prohibitions and pains and penalties of the act are not confined to the game animals and game fish enumer- ated, but cover also other varieties of fish and flesh. The new act constitutes the gover- nor, secretary of state and auditor of state a “State Game and Fish Com- mission” with general supervision over the application and enforcement of the game laws, and with authority to suspend any open season in any mr gion at any time such action shall in |its deseretion be deemed necessary |for the welfare of the game birds, game animals or game fish in the re- gion affected by exercise of such dis cretion. Direct administration of the law is imposed upon the state game and fish commissioner, who shall re ceive a salary of $3,000 a year, ‘ave a chief asistant in charge of the fish department), at a salary of $2,400 a year, ten other assistants at salaries of $1,500 a year each, a chief clerk at a salary of $2,100 a year and any number of deputies deemed _neces- sary at $7.00 per day each. Tho set salary total of the ball, exclusive. ‘et the salaries of fish hatchery sup tendents and assistants, deputies rand clerical assistants, is $23,000 annually. The state game and fish commis |sioner and other attaches of the state| game and fish commissioner are au- thorized to arrest violators of an provision of the game laws without warrant, and without warrant to search any camp, camp outfit, pack or pack animal, automobile, wa buggy or hunting clothes, and to seize game animals, game birds or parts thereof un- lawfully killed or taken or unlawfu' in the possession of the persons searched.
