Fur-bearing animals
ARKANSAS.--Possession, sale, and shipment of deer or fawns is permitted
when they have been raised in captivity for domestic purposes and are
accompanied by an affidavit from the raiser.
COLORADO.--Owners of private preserves under a license are permitted to
sell and ship deer or other quadrupeds that are accompanied by an
invoice. A fee is required for each animal sold.
ILLINOIS.--Any person who raises deer for market may kill and sell them
at any time in the same manner as other domestic animals.
INDIANA.--The provisions of the law as to possession and sale do not
apply to persons who have under ownership or control any deer raised in
a deer park.
MASSACHUSETTS.--The owner may sell his own tame deer kept on his own
grounds.
MINNESOTA.--Persons who desire to domesticate deer, moose, elk, or
caribou may secure a permit to do so from the State board of game and
fish commissioners by paying a fee of 50 cents for each animal in
captivity and a like fee for each animal added later by natural increase
or otherwise. The animals kept in captivity may be sold or shipped
within or without the State, by permission of the commissioners.
MISSOURI.--Deer or elk, alive or dead, may be shipped from any private
preserve and sold in the markets of the State when accompanied by a tag
furnished by the game warden of the county, showing whose property it
is, where killed and to whom shipped.
NEW HAMPSHIRE.--The Blue Mountain Forest Association may kill elk, deer,
or moose in their preserve for one month after the open season, and at
any time may transport them outside the State.
NEW YORK.--Deer may be sold during the open season; and moose, elk,
caribou, and antelope from private parks may be sold during the same
period. Common carriers may transport animals into the State for
breeding purposes, but may not transport venison unless it is
accompanied by the owner.
NORTH CAROLINA.--Seventeen counties permit the owner and keeper of an
inclosed game preserve, who raises deer for use or sale, to kill, sell,
or use those raised or kept in said inclosure.
PENNSYLVANIA.--Owners of game preserves who hold a game propagating
certificate may sell and transport deer or fawn alive for propagating
purposes only, after securing the written consent of the president of
the board of game commissioners.
In three or four other States game "under private ownership, legally
acquired," is supposed to be exempt from general provisions of the game
law; but in a test case as to its sale or export it is doubtful whether
the courts would so hold without more specific provision legalizing such
commerce.
SUMMARY.
The domestication of deer and elk offers an interesting field for
experiment, as well as remunerative returns for the investment of
capital.
