The daily bag limit on quail varied from 4 to 25. Fifteen States had a bag limit of 12 or less and 15 States of 15 to 25. Georgia, Mississippi, and North Carolina appar- ently had no State limits. In Tennessee the limit of 20 included birds and small game of all kinds. It is not surprising that States like Maine, Michigan, Wisconsin. North Dakota, Montana, and Wyoming, which are for the most part outside the normal range of quail and in which the birds are likely to be killed off during severe winters, should not be able to obtain sufficient stock to allow general hunting, but it is remarkable that States like Iowa.
