DUCK HUNTERS WILL HAVE LONGER TIME.

Amendment to Hunting Laws Now in Force Gives Them Until April 15 to Shoot Water FowL An amendment to the hunting laws of the state of Indiana, which was passed at the recent session of the legislature, and which became a law u soon as it was signed by the Governor, will be of special interest to duck hunters. The law formerly closed the season for ducks on the first day of April, but a new amendment leaves the season open until April 15. This applies to other water sown included in the open season as well as ducks. The new law also contemplates that duck shopters shall have until May Ist to sell or otherwise dispose of the water fowl they have killed during the open season. The amendment to the hunting laws which was enacted at the session of the legislature just closed contained an emergency clause and is the reason it became effective as soon as the Governor’s signature was attached.
