I've had this booklet (32 pgs.) for quite awhile but I thought I would sit down and share some of the laws and regs that are similar and very different. Some quotes will be directly from the book.
Instead of hunting zones there were fishing zones (north and south about @ I80). It sounds like there is one state game warden who is able to appoint law officers or other citizens to help to "perform duties".
They had a monthly payment to the state game warden from fees, penalties, and forfitures that went towards traveling & office expense of the state game warden.
The license to fish says nothing @ women fishing.
Landowner tags(1924 style).. "No license shall be required from owners or tenants of farm lands, their wives, children, or employees for hunting, trapping, or fishing upon the lands owned or occupied by them."
"Catch limits...25 fish"
"Size limits..pike, pickerel, blue or channel cat..12" or more. Rock bass..7"..trout & crappie 8"..perch 7"..sunfish 6"...
Ice Fishing.."No house, shed, or other protection against the wind is allowed. No use of stove or artificial heat."
There is about 2 pages dealing with laws about dams and injury to dams. Probably a very hot topic at the time.
Charge for a 500 ft. seine..$15.
It's sort of interesting, there are 2 pages about the sale of, possession of, and taking of mussels, followed by a "whole" 2 small paragraphs about Deer, Goat, and Elk.
"PROTECTION OF DEER, ELK, AND GOAT. When it shall be necessary in the opinion of the state game warden or his deputies to kill or capture any deer now running at large within the state, it shall be done under the auth. and dir. of the state game warden who shall distribute such deer, so killed or captured within this state, and the expense as said killing or capture and distribution shall be paid by the person receiving such deer."
** Here we are in 2005 and still have those deer "running at large"! Luckily we will get them under control with those high powers this year! (editorial)
Game bird season dates are fairly close to what they are now.
Bag limits--"5 prairie chickens, 8 quail, 15 ducks, 2 male imported pheasants, and 15 other game birds or animals"
"BIRDS AND FOWL NOT PROTECTED. It shall not be a violation to take, shoot, or kill the following birds or fowls: English starling, European sparrow, blackbird, blue-jay, crow, sharp-shinned hawk, Cooper's hawk, great horned owl, grebe, loon, tern, merganser, bittern, and black crowned night heron."
Fees: resident fishing... $1
nonresident or resident alien..$3
My how some things have changed! Sorry for the long post but I definitly thought is very interesting. If you happen to be in the fish and wildlife field, or just interested in looking at more of the book, PM me and I will scan it and send it to you.
