The new Act provides that wild waterfowl may be hunted on the Susquehanna Flats each day of the week except Sunday. The second bill, Chapter 359 provides it to be unlawful to hunt wild waterfowl with any gun carrying more than three loads at any one time, said gun must be loaded with shot only and said gun shall not be larger than a No. 10 guage; also provides that it shall be unlawful to use more than 25 live decoys on any one property at any one time and no wild waterfowl except crippled birds not otherwise retrievable shall be shot while resting on water or land. This Act further provides it to be lawful to use what is known as a sneak boat on the waters of the Potomac river in Frederick and Montgomery counties, however, said boat or boats must be licensed by the Clerk of the Court of said county under a license fee of $5.00.
