Federal Migratory Bird Law Enforced After Enactment
The migratory bird law, enacted years ago but not fully enforced, has been reenacted and approved by President Wilson on July 1, 1918. It establishes open seasons, possession limits, and methods for hunting migratory game birds with a firearm, with strict federal penalties and federal court jurisdiction. The measure aims to curb sport hunting that devastated many species and to align state laws where needed, detailing seasons, bag limits, and transportation rules across multiple states.
