NOTE-Practically all the States and Territories prohibit the export of game; hunting or fishing for commercial purposes; hunting big game with dogs, or the use of any but ordinary methods in the taking of game, birds, or fish. In most of the States and Territories, however, there are special provisions permitting the use of unlawful methods in hunting and fishing in cases where the game or fish to be taken are to be used for scientific purposes, and there are few States that do not permit the netting of minnows for bait. When no close season is recorded in this table none is provided by law. The possession of fish or game during a close season is always unlawful, but a few States permit possession for a few days after the season closes. The killing of harmless, song and insectivorous birds is forbidden by the laws of nearly all the States and Territories, but these statutes do not apply to birds like the hawk, crow, owl, blackbird, English sparrow, etc.
