It is a book written by William T. Hornady in the early 1900s-a period when game laws, the idea of game wardens, and state game commissions were in their infancy. Mr. Hornaday was a chum of Teddy Roosevelt, and his book reveals the sentiment of the day. There's some interesting insight here. Was "No Sunday hunting" in some states, for example, an attempt to keep italians, blacks, and poor whites from the south from filling the "pot" with anything bearing fur or feathers? The Sabboth may not have had anything to do with this country's early game laws. With a six day work week in mines and factories, immigrants only had Sunday to hunt. Is it possible laws were designed to exclude them from hunting? If so and with thought of our current period of political correctness, one would think these law should change. Any thoughts? The entire read is awesome, but if your time is limited pay attention to chapters 11 and 12.
