R R © 28 ""HUNDREDS T0 OPEN SEASON FOR DUCKS ‘Autos Will Carry D. C. Hunt- ers to Chesapeake Bay and Tributaries. Tomorrow at dawn there will be hundreds of local duck hunters in evidence on the Chesapeake Bay and tributaries, more especially on the Potomac River. Many will leave here in automobiles this afternoon or dur- ing the early morning hours, while the others probably will go by train to_more distant points. . It is feared by the hunters that the continued warm weather will in- terfere with the sport, the ducks not usually coming close in unless the weather is cold or blustery. Last year the ducks were plentiful, and it is thought they will be plentiful this year, according to a local sportsman, but not until the weather gets colder. Enforcement To Be Strict. Announcement has been made that Maryland game wardens will enforce the law strictly this season. It has g:n suggested that many blinds have n constructed and placed in vio- lation of the Maryland law, many of them just beyond the headland lines at_the mouths of creeks in Virginia. Licenses are required of hunters ¥ho do their shooting at all places Mot upon Federal territory, and the laws of both Maryland and Virginia provide bag limits. ‘The section of the Maryland law relating to boats, blinds and pushers provides: “Sinkbox, $20.50; sneakboat, $5.50; issued by clerks Circuit Court of coun- ty of which applicant is a resident; booby, brush or stake blind, $5.50 (not issued except to resident of State or non-resident owner of land bodering on Potomac River or non-resident owner of land bordering on any waters of the State that is assessed at $500 on tax books of Maryland); issued by clerks Circuit Court; pusher, $2.50; is- sued by clerks Circuit Court. Susquehanna_Flats—Sinkbox, $20.75; sneakboat, $5.75; issued by clerks Cir- al;l't'pourt in Cecil and Harford Coun- Bag Limits Prescribed. Under provisions of the Maryland law, gunners are permitted to kill 25 ducks, 8 geese and 8 brandt a day, and are permitted to take out of the State as personal baggage a quantity equal to a 2-day bag-limit. The Virginia law permits the gun- mer to take from the State 50 water- fowl if killed or captured by himself, and citizens of the State are permitted to ship a dozen waterfowl to friends residing outside the State. Season for shooting waterfowl in the District of Columbia also opens tomorrow morning. Season for pos- session of rabbits in the District opens tomorrow, and although their shooting in the nearby States will not be per- mitted until later, (Maryland Novem- ber 10 and Virginia November 15) it is probable there will be some of them offered for sale here tomorrow.
