165. (Definition of Gunning Rigs.) For the purpose of this sub-

as a sneak boat, customarily used or intended to be used in connection
with wild water fowl hunting, or a flat bottom bateau or boat with
bush or canvas blinds (commonly known as a bushwacking outfit)

ing or gunning over decoys; provided that an outboard motor may
be used on a sneak boat to make the run back to "john goose" or

during the legal open season and shall not be used for any purpose
other than the hunting of wild water fowl, and it shall be unlawful
for any gunning rig to be on the Susquehanna Flats for the purpose
of gunning on any other days in the week; provided, however, that
if the Federal Government or any agency thereof at any time bans
gunning on the said Flats on any one or all of these days in the week
then this sub-heading shall no longer be effective insofar as the
shooting days are concerned.

It will be unlawful for a non-resident to shoot from a bushwacking
or sneak boat on the Susquehanna Flats unless the legal holder or
resident co-owner of the license accompanies the rig. In case of resi-
