WM. PRESTON LANE, JR., GOVERNOR. 557

Maryland at any time; however, it shall be lawful to hunt,
pursue, or have in possession any male deer with two or more
points to one antler, provided same was killed during the
lawful open season. No person shall kill, or attempt to kill,
a second deer in any one season, or have in possession more
than one male deer killed in this State during any one year.
Every person killing a deer found in wild state, shall immedi-
ately report to a designated checking station with said kill.

(e) It shall be unlawful to remove the head or hide or1 any
part thereof from any deer except internal organs, or cut the
meat into parts until it has been weighed and checked by a
warden, deputy game warden, or State policeman, at a desig-
nated checking station. Any deer or parts thereof, the sex
of which cannot be definitely determined, shall be prima facie
evidence that said deer is an illegal deer. Each separate deer,
part or parts thereof, taken illegally or found in possession,
shall, for the purpose of this section be considered a separate
offense.

(f) It shall be unlawful to hunt deer in this State with
any automatic firearm. An automatic firearm, for the pur-

or mechanically altered so as to fire, two or more shots* with
one continuous pressure on the trigger.

It shall be unlawful to use full metal-jacketed, incendiary
or tracer bullets in the hunting of deer in this State. This
shall not be construed as a prohibition against the use of
metal-jacketed bullets designed to expand on impact.

(g) It shall be unlawful for any person, or one or more
of a group of persons together, to throw or cast the rays of
a spotlight, headlight, or artificial light, or battery or other
contrivance or device, on any highway or, in any field, wood-
land, or forest upon any deer while having in his or their
possession, or under his or their control, a firearm or other
implement by which any deer could be killed, even though
such game be not shot at, injured or killed. The provisions
of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply where the
headlight of a motor vehicle operated by any person or per-
sons while traveling on a highway in the usual way, cast a
light upon such game on or adjacent to such highway and
there was 110 attempt or intent to locate such game.

(h) Any person violating any of the provisions of this
section shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and upon
conviction before any court of competent jurisdiction of this
State, shall be fined not less than One Hundred Dollars
(1100. 00) nor more than Two Hundred Dollars, ($200. 00) and
costs for each and every offense. Any person who fails to pay
