The principal changes in the game lawTs recom- mended are that the deer season open in August, meat to be shipped fro mopen to closed counties; that the bag limit of ducks be reduced to 25 a day, or 50 a week, their sale to be prohibited; that quail be placed on the protected list, the quail bag limit being resduced to 20 a day, or 40 a week; that doves be placed on the protected list; that no trout may be sold except Tahoe trout; that the taking of steelhead in tidewater be prohibited during the closed season; that salmon may be imported from open to closed territory; that the sale of crabs be prohibited; that abalones may not be shipped out of the State.
