EXPORT FROM THE STATE. 61 Among game birds the most general prohibition is that against the export of quail, which is now in force in every State and Territory with six exceptions. Among the excepted States are Montana, North Dakota, and Wyoming, in which quail are scarce, and in Montana the sale and in North Dakota the killing of these birds are at present unlawful. Nearly every State in which prairie chickens occur now has a nonexport law. The effect of this law, combined with the sale restrictions, as already stated, is to make the sale of prairie chickens illegal outside of their normal range. Special attention is called to the following table, which contains a list of the game prohibited from export by each State: States.
