All the shore birds need five years of close protection.

  A State Game Warden whose term of office is not less than four years
  should be provided for.

  A corps of salaried game protectors should be chosen for active and
  aggressive game protection.

  Nevada’s bag limits are among the best of any state, the only
  serious flaw being “10 sage grouse” per day:  which should be 0!

Nevada still has a few antelope; and we beg her to protect them all from being hunted or killed! It is my belief that if the antelope is really saved anywhere in the United States outside of national parks and preserves, it will be in the wild and remote regions of Nevada, where it is to be hoped that lumpy-jaw has not yet taken hold of the herds.

NEW HAMPSHIRE: 

Speaking generally, the New Hampshire laws regulating the killing and shipment of game are defective for the reason that on birds, and in fact all game save deer, there appear to be no “bag” limits on the quantity that may be killed in a day or a season.  The following bag limits are greatly needed, forthwith: 

Gray Squirrel, none per day, or per year; duck (except wood-duck), ten per day, or thirty per season; ruffed grouse, four per day, twelve per season; hare and rabbit, four per day, or twelve per season.

  Five-year close seasons should immediately be enacted for the
  following species:  quail, woodcock, jacksnipe and all species of
  shore or “beach” birds.

  The sale of all native wild game should be prohibited; and
  game-breeding in preserves, and the sale of such game under state
  supervision, should be provided for.

  The use of automatic and pump guns in hunting should be
  barred,—­through state pride, if for no other reason.

NEW JERSEY: 

New Jersey enjoys the distinction of being the second state to break the strangle-hold of the gun-makers of Hartford and Ilion, and cast out the odious automatic and pump guns.  It was a pitched battle,—­that of 1912, inaugurated by Ernest Napier, President of the State Game and Fish Commission and his fellow commissioners.  The longer the contest continued, the more did the press and the people of New Jersey awaken to the seriousness of the situation.  Finally, the gun-suppression bill passed the two houses of the legislature with a total of only fourteen votes against it, and after a full hearing had been granted the attorneys of the gunmakers, was promptly signed by Governor Woodrow Wilson. Governor Wilson could not be convinced that the act was “unconstitutional,” or “confiscatory” or “class legislation."

This contest aroused the whole state to the imperative necessity of providing more thorough protection for the remnant of New Jersey game, and it was chiefly responsible for the enactment of four other excellent new protective laws.
