C.-- Dear Sir: I am in receipt of your letter of October 7th relative to hunting li censes and written permission. A landlord in your county can give written permission to any resilient of the county lo hun' upon his land. This written permit then take.; the place of the county license, and no license is needed by the hobler to hunt upon the particular piece of land In question, but, of course, the hunter would be confined entire!.* to the land upon which \\?. had the writ ten permission. On the other hand, if a person has a hunting license he needs no written permission, bu* is in a position to go ahead and hunt just as he always has dotti previous to the enactment of the license law. I maj call to your attention thai an> South Carolinian not li> ing in Oconee county is required to have a State license lu order to hunt in the j said county, and no written permis-! sion can be substituted for this li cense.
