Smith v. State

<p>1. Under the provisions of the game-law (Acts of 1911, pp. 137-146), it is unlawful for any person to hunt, without first obtaining a license, except upon his own land or in his own militia district; and when lawfully hunting in his own militia district he can not lawfully follow hounds in pursuit of foxes, deer, or any other animal, to and upon another’s lands in another militia district, without such a license, even though he has permission from the owner to hunt thereon.</p> <p>2. The act of 1912, amending the game-law of 1911, by the terms of section 3 of the amending law effectually repeals the exception provided for>in section 18 of the act of 1911, which allowed persons lawfully hunting to follow hounds in pursuit of foxes, deer, and other animals not protected by that act, upon lands of another without the permission of the owner of such lands; and the law as now amended prohibits any and all persons, with or without a license, from hunting or fishing upon lands other than their own without permission of the landowner.</p>
