It is unlawful to hunt deer at nighttime. The [words] word
"nighttime" shall be construed to mean the time beginning with
one-half hour after sunset until one-half hour before sunrise the
following day, the time stated by the calendar of hour of sunrise
and sunset, as published in the Department's hunter's guide.

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, head-
light, or artificial light or battery or other contrivance or device, on
any highway or in any field, woodland, or forest 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
[subsection] section shall not be construed to apply where the head-
light of a motor vehicle operated by any person or persons while
traveling on a highway in the usual way, casts a light upon such
game on or adjacent to such highway and there was no attempt or
intent to locate such game, however, provided that nothing in this
[subsection] section shall apply to the hunting of raccoon or opossum
during the lawful open season.

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

offense, or be imprisoned for not less than 30 days or both fined
and imprisoned in the discretion of the court and shall have his
hunting license revoked and shall be denied the privilege of hunting
in Maryland for not less than two (2) nor more than five (5) years.
In addition to such fine or fines and other penalties all spotlights,
artificial lights, or batteries or other contrivances or devices to spot
or locate or hunt for said game, and all firearms, bows and arrows,
and/or devices capable of killing a deer found in or on such vehicle
or in possession of such person so convicted, or used in violation of
provisions of this section, shall be confiscated and disposed of by
the Director as he may deem advisable for the best interest of the
State.
