There appears to be some doubt on the part of property owners on whose land wild fowl are to be found as to who is entitled to shoot without taking out a license. The position is set out in clause 14 (3) of the Animals Protection and Game Act, .1921, which stipulates that: —“Any person in bona fide occupation of any land, and any one son or daughter of such person may, during an open season, take or kill on that land without a license (but subject to all other restrictions imposed by or under this Act) any imported game or native game that may lawfully be taken or killed under a license in the district within the boundaries of which such land is situated, or such first-mentioned person may in writing appoint one other person to take or kill such game in his stead during such open season, in which case he shall not himself take oi kill imported game or nalive game without a license while such appointee remains in force.
