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?

Wood Ducks were endangered back then.

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.
