Excerpt from Hunting Licenses: Their History, Objects, and Limitations Sir: I have the honor to transmit herewith, as Bulletin No. 19, a report, on Hunting licenses, their history, objects, and limitations, prepared by Dr. T. S. Palmer, assistant in charge of game preservation. The object of this bulletin is to render generally accessible the information collected by the Department on the subject of resident and nonresident licenses. In States which have adopted the license system statistics regarding hunting not previously collected are now available. Thus the figures here presented show that during 1903 the receipts from licenses exceeded $10,000 in each of 9 States, and Illinois and Wisconsin each collected nearly $100,000; the total number of hunters in 10 States which license both residents and nonresidents exceeded 261,000; and the States which attracted most nonresident hunters were Maine, North Carolina, and Wisconsin.
