Excerpt from Game Protection and Propagation in America: A Handbook of Practical Information for Officials and Others Interested in the Cause of Conservation of Wild LifeGame protection, as the term is understood in this country, consists largely in the enactment and enforcement of statutes regulating the time when, the manner and means by which, and the amount of, game that may be killed or taken by the public. These statutes are enforced by re cognized officers of the State. Hence, most of the questions and problems involved in game protection are matters of law, with collateral practical questions of fact and science. In the following pages the author has attempted to discuss these questions, and point out such as have been settled by the authorities, both legal and scientific. Within recent years a large number of legal points have been settled by the appellate courts of the country, which has served to clarify them and dispel doubt. It is believed that every important case of this kind has been examined and the information adduced therefrom used in some portion of this work.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
