Meaning of Game laws
Laws regulating the killing or taking of birds and beasts, as game. The English game laws are founded on the idea of restricting the right of taking game to certain privileged classes, generally landholders. In 1831, the law was so modified as to enable any one to obtain a certificate or license to kill game, on payment of a fee. The laws relating to game in the United States are generally, if not universally, framed with reference to protecting the animals from indiscriminate and unreasonable havoc, leaving all persons free to take game, under certain restrictions as to the season of the year and the means of capture. The details of these regulations must be sought in the statutes of the several states. 60 N. Y, 10; 97 111. 320.
