The duties of the fish and game warden, as defined by
chapter 15, of the code, are as follows:
He shall make biennially a report to the governor of his
doings, together with such information for the protection of fish
and game as he may think proper. He shall make monthly an itemized
statement to the executive council under oath of all moneys expended
and for what purpose and the number and varieties of fish
distributed and in what waters; also all prosecutions made under
the law. He shall have charge of the re-stocking and distribution of
fish to the public waters of the state, and shall impartially and
equitably distribute the same. He shall faithfully and impartially
enforce obedience to the provisions of the fish and game laws. He
may suspend for a specified period specified portions of the fish
and game laws and issue permits authorizing the person to whom said
permit is issued, to take from certain designated lakes of the
state, having an area of not less than two square miles, certain
fish designated in said permit in any quantities and for all
purposes. He shall not permit seining in said lakes between the
first day of December and the fifteenth day of June.
He may grant certificates to proper parties to collect birds,
their nests or eggs for scientific purposes. He shall seize and take
possession, without warrant, any fish, birds or animals which have
been caught, taken or killed, at any time, in any manner or for a
purpose or had in possession or under control, or have been shipped
contrary to law, and shall sell the same for the purpose of paying
any costs, and balance of proceeds, if any, shall be turned into the
school fund of the county in which the seizure is made. He shall
seize and destroy without warrant or process, any net, seine, trap,
contrivance, material, and substance whatever while in use or had
and maintained for the purpose of catching, taking, killing,
trapping or deceiving any fish, birds or animals contrary to the
provisions of the fish and game laws. He may appoint such numbers of
deputies as he may deem necessary and their duties are to report all
violations of the law, to make arrests where crime is committed in
their province, and to aid the warden in the enforcement of the law.
The provisions of the laws makes the state fish and game warden a
state marshal and it is his duty to ferret out offenders and bring
them to justice.
By an act of the Thirty-third General Assembly, "no person
shall hunt, kill or take any wild animal, bird, or game in this
state with a gun without first procuring a license." The fee for
such license is one dollar a year for each resident of the state and
ten dollars a year for each non-resident. The county auditors of the
state issue the licenses. All licenses expire on the first of July
of each year. Owners of land, their children and tenants are not
required to procure a license to hunt on their own premises.
Provision is made in the law for the amount of game that a
non-resident may take from the state. Penalties are provided for the
enforcement of the law. Another law of the thirty-third general
assembly provides for an annual license under certain restrictions
for the use of seins and nets in the Mississippi, Missouri, Big
Sioux and Des Moines rivers where they form part of the boundary
line of the state |
