74. (Entry Upon Refuges.) No person shall trespass in any manner
on any State Game or Fish Refuge without the consent of the Game Warden
or person in charge of said lands or waters. Persons regularly residing on
lands included within any refuge may be granted a special written permit
by the Game Warden which may be revoked at any time, to have traps,
dogs or guns in possession on such refuge so long as they are not used in
hunting or trapping for game unless said hunting or trapping is done
under special permit from the Game Warden for propagation purposes.
Where any portion of a State Game Refuge is used for a State Park, entry
by any person within the refuge area for recreational pursuits shall not be
restricted on the portion of said territory used as a State Park, so long as
such persons do not carry firearms, or traps, or do not permit dogs to dis-
turb or chase game.

The Game Warden, by written permission, may grant to responsible
persons the right to hunt or trap for vermin, and to use dogs and guns in
connection therewith, on State Game Refuges, or may grant permission to
trap birds or game animals which, when so trapped, shall be used for
propagation purposes.

in accordance with the provisions thereof, whether the same be trespassing
on any refuge or other provisions of said sub-title, shall be fined not less
than Fifty Dollars ($50.00) nor more than One Hundred Dollars
($100.00) and costs for each and every offense.
