Warden Lawrence
Advises Sportsmen
To Get State Licenses
Hunters and fishermen are advis-
ed to secure new state hunting and
fishing licenses, effective September
1. The licenses are available in Mes-
quite at Austin Bros. Hardware.
According to a story appearing in
the Daily Sentinel at Nacogdoches,
Hill Lawrence, state game warden,
formerly of Mesquite, said.
Persons over 17 years of age ang-
ling in fresh water with artificial
lure, regardless of where in the
state, must purchase new Resident
Fishing License which cost $1.65. No
License is required of anyone “sport
fishing” in the counties adjacent to
one’s home county if dead bait is
used.
Dead bait is: crawfish, worms,
soap, dough-bait, shrimp and liver.
Live bait is: minnows and fish or
parts of either, whether dead or
alive.
Big-game hunting licenses, good
for all kinds of game, including deer
and turkey, cost $2.15. Persons not
hunting deer and turkey can pur-
chase a state-wide permit for $2.00
annually.
Thirty-nine various kinds of other
licenses issued by the Game Depart-
ment a-lso expire Aug. 31.
The first of the fall hunting sea-
son opens in Dallas county with the
Mourning Dove season opening Sept.
1. The prospects for dove hunting
are fair to good, according to the
various sections of the county. Al-
though no heavy concentrations of
birds have been seen in any particu-
lar section. “Tank shooting” will be
good if it continues to remain dry,
reports Lawrence. The laws govern-
ing dove hunting are as follows:
Bag limit is 10 birds per day and
10 in possession.
Hunting hours are one-half before
sunrise to sunset.
No hunting permitted in game re-
fuge and game preserves.
Shotguns must be permanently
plugged to 3-shell capacity including
one in the barrel.
Shotguns may not be larger than
10-gauge and hunting with rifles is
illegal.
It is unlawful to hunt from or to
use an automobile or motor boat to
approach doves while hunting.
It is unlawful to shoot any gun or
firearm in, on, along or across any
public road in this state.
It is unlawful to hunt on enclosed
lands of another without the owner’s
consent.
