This year there has been a raise in the charge for duck stamps, i Hunters 12 to 16 years of age must pay $1.00 for a duck stamp, and all hunters 16 and over must pay $2.00 for their stamps.

Buckshot and slugs larger than BB's are prohibited ;n this year's shoot, but, of course BB's are legal this year, as well as all sizes of shot smaller. Hunters are particularly warn- ed not to shoot swans. They have been increasing lately and the federal government intends to keep them increasing.

Hunters expect a good shoot this fall and from all reports they will get one. |
