1328                                        LAWS OF MARYLAND                            [Ch. 4

PROHIBITED. - A PERSON MAY NOT HUNT A DEER WHILE IT IS
TAKING REFUGE IN OR SWIMMING THROUGH THE WATERS OF THE

STATE.

REVISOR'S NOTE: Subsections (a), (b) , and (c)
appear as Article 66C, section 196 (a) of
the Code, as amended by Chapter 561, Acts
of 1972. The provisions are reorganized
for purposes of clarity. Other provisions
of this subsection are proposed for
deletion because they duplicate proposed
section 10—404 which prohibits hunting or
possessing deer except during open season.

Subsection (d) presently appears as Article
66C, section 196(e) of the Code. The
reference to "wildlife officer or State
policeman" is proposed for deletion and
"department or one of its agents" is
substituted therefor. The Natural
Resources Police Force no longer checks
deer but the Wildlife Administration has
assumed this task and employs private
individuals at the checking stations.

The second sentence is revised to better
express the legislative intent of this
section. When the head or hide is removed
the sex of the deer usually cannot be
determined.

Subsection (e) presently appears as Article
66C, section 132A, as enacted by H.B. 451,
Chapter 150, Acts of 1973. The present
penalty provision is proposed for deletion
because it duplicates the uniform penalty
provision of this title.

Subsection (f) presently appears as Article
66C, section 196(g) of the Code.
Subsection (g) presently appears as Article
66C, section 197 of the Code. Subsection
(h) presently appears as section 196(b) of
the Code. The first sentence is proposed
for deletion because it duplicates section
10-408.

The only other changes made are in style.
10-416. PROHIBITED METHODS FOR HUNTING DEER.
