Game Management Officer This week I would like to discuss some law changes on the method ojf hunting our game birds and animals. In the past years it has been unlawful to hunt game birds or animals such as deer, turkey and qiiail from a motor-powered vehicle. This year the law has been changed so a person may hunt a game bird or animal from a motor vehicle except from a public right-of-way or road. This does not include the hunting of mourning dove, white wing dove or any type of waterfowls.

White wing dove, mourning dove and waterfowl of all species are controlled hy the Migratory Bird Act. This act is a treaty among Canada, the United States and Mexico and states are not allowed to suixrsede or change, its laws.
