(ii) The fee for each bonus deer stamp issued under this subsection
shall be $5.00 for an individual hunting deer on a federal facility.
(4) The Department may establish by regulation the type and number of
deer stamps issued under this subsection if necessary to control the deer harvest in
various areas of the State.
[(d)] (E) (1) A person with a basic hunting license and any individual
hunting stamp also may purchase bonus deer stamps for use during any deer hunting
season.
(2) (i) Except as provided in subparagraph (ii) of this paragraph and
subject to paragraph (3) of this subsection, the bonus deer stamp allows the person
with the basic license to hunt 1 deer in each hunting season for which the person has
purchased an individual hunting stamp.
(ii) An individual who purchases a bonus deer stamp but does not
use it during a particular season may use that stamp during any subsequent season
in that hunting license year.
(3) (i) The Department may issue a limited number of bonus
antlerless deer stamps for the purpose of regulating the harvest of antlerless deer in
a particular deer management region or zone.
(ii) The fee to apply for a bonus antlerless deer stamp is $5 for
residents and $25 for nonresidents.
(iii) The fee is nonrefundable if the applicant does not obtain an
antlerless deer stamp. If an individual obtains a bonus antlerless deer stamp, the
application fee for the stamp will be applied to the fee for the stamp and no additional
stamp fee will be required.
[(e)] (F) A person may not remove the head or hide or any part from any deer,
except internal organs, or cut the meat into parts until the deer has been checked by
the Department or 1 of the Department's agents at a designated checking station-
Removal of the head or the hide of any deer not checked at a designated checking
station shall be prima facie evidence that the deer was hunted illegally. Each separate
deer or part of any deer taken illegally or found in possession shall be considered a
separate offense.
[(f)] (G) Any person who, while operating a motor vehicle on any highway in
the State, accidentally strikes and kills a deer on the highway may have the deer if
the person produces visible evidence of collision with the deer to any Natural
Resources police officer, State law enforcement officer, or other designated
representative of the Secretary. The provisions of this subsection shall be applicable
to deer killed by collision with a motor vehicle at any time whether during the open
season for killing deer or during the legally closed season.
[(g)] (H) A person may not hunt a deer while the deer is taking refuge in or
swimming through the waters of the State.
