I were few, the executive secretary j
of the Texas Game, Fish and Oyster
Commission is warning sportsmen
i to become familiar with the new 1
■ regulations and not to get them
1 confused.
The greatest confusion is likely
to come from the shooting hours
on ducks and doves. Under the new
federal regulations, with which Tex-
as laws conform, duck hunting may
now start at sunrise and must end
at 4 p.m. Dove hunters can start
shooting at sunrise, but must quit
at sunset.
Too, there is only one duck season
in Texas, it opening at sunrise Nov.
2 and ending at 4 p,m. Dec. 31, but
there are two dove seasons and
some special regulations. The dove
season will be from Kept. 1 to Oct.
