What’s up with the “Don’t Use Your Parker on Wood Ducks” and “Be Ready for Game that May be Legally Taken”? Were wood ducks not legal game back in the day?

I don’t remember the exact years but yes, wood ducke were protected sometime in the twenties and/or thirties.
I’m reading Sheldon’s “Tranquility Revisited” published in 1940 and he makes reference to the fact several times in the book.
