Legislature Changes Dove Season and Kills Borrow Bill
The 1933 state legislature limited sports legislation but approved dove season dates shifting to August 15 to September 15. A fish and game department loan bill for 3.4 million dollars was killed in the senate after house approval. A statewide hunting license was reduced to 1 dollar, with separate 1 dollar fishing and hunting fees for residents. Legislators faced requests to empower the fish and game commission, depoliticize appointments, involve sports groups in appointments, retain license revenue in the department, prevent park concessions from political favoritism, create a new commissions plan, tax parks and lakes, and improve wardens and licenses for youth and women.
