Section 3348. Trapping, et cetera, fur-bearing or hair-bearing
animals on the lands of another, and providing a license therefor.—
First. It shall be unlawful for any person to set or place any trap,
snare, net, spring pole, dead fall or other device or to bait the same,
upon the land or in the waters of any other person, for the purpose
of catching or killing any fur-bearing or hair-bearing animals, be-
tween March first and November fifteenth, and then only after such
person has obtained a license in the manner provided by law and
the written consent of the owner of the lands to use such devices,
for the current season, to catch or to kill fur-bearing or hair-bearing
animals, which written consent shall be upon the person at the time
he may be using or setting above devices, as aforesaid, provided,
however, that no license shall be required on box or rabbit traps.

Second. Any trapper setting steel traps shall have attached or
stamped on said steel traps his name and address.

Third. Violations of this act shall be a misdemeanor and in
addition thereto any traps set in violation of the provisions hereof
shall be considered unlawful devices and subject to be destroved
by a game warden; provided, however, that nothing in this act shall
be construed to apply to tenants or lessees trapping on lands oc-
cupied by such tenants or leased by such lessees. '
