4253. Landowner; family; exception

(a) A resident

owner of lands, his or her spouse, and their minor children may, without

procuring a license under this chapter, take fish from the waters therein,

shoot pickerel, and take wild animals or wild birds therein subject to the

provisions of this part.

(b) A

nonresident owner of lands, his or her spouse, and their minor children, may

without procuring a license under this chapter, take fish from the waters

therein, shoot pickerel, and take wild animals or wild birds thereon subject to

the provisions of this part, except if the lands are posted under provisions

other than section 4710 of this title.

(c) As used in

this section, "post" means any signage that would lead a reasonable

person to believe that hunting is prohibited on the land.

(d) Nothing in

this section shall be construed to:

(1) exempt a

captive hunt facility from the permitting requirements adopted under the rules

of the Fish and Wildlife Board; or

(2) without a

permit from the Commissioner of Fish and Wildlife, allow any person, including

a hunt club, hunting association, or multiple landowners, to transport,

possess, or fence any animal for the purpose of taking or attempting to take

the animal by hunting. (Added 1961, No. 119, § 1, eff. May 9, 1961; amended
