Federal laws regulate interstate commerce in, and importation of game; the preservation of game in Alaska, the Indian Territory, and the District of Columbia, and on Government reservations. State laws regulate the capture, shipment, and sale of game within State jurisdictions. Canadian laws, like those of the United States, may also be divided into General laws, comprising chie y regulations concerning the export of game; and Provincial laws, corresponding to State laws, which govern the capture, shipment, and sale of game. In some States certain counties have special statutes or are partially or entirely exempt from the operation of the general game laws. In the four States of Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, and Tennessee, where local statutes are especially popular, there are probably more game laws for the three hundred or more counties than in all the rest of the United States. It should be noted, however, that these local laws are enacted by the States and not by the counties themselves. State legislatures are jealous of their rights in such matters, and, except in Mississippi, seldom delegate even the fixing of game seasons to county boards of supervisors. In many instances these laws do not conform to those of adjoining States or counties, and even in so fundamental a matter as the definition of game there is a noticeable lack of agreement.
