Approved March 21, 1928

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That the
owners of land adjoining the waters of the counties of King George,
Stafford, Prince William and Fairfax, their lessees, licensees or per-
mittees shall have the exclusive right to erect stob or brush blinds in
front of their property for the purpose of hunting water fowl, except
that it shall be unlawful to place stob or brush blinds in such waters at
a greater distance than three hundred yards from the shore at low
water mark; provided, however, that such stob or brush blinds may
not be set or maintained at a greater distance from the shore than
one-half of the width of the tributary where said tributary is less
than six hundred yards in width.

2. It shall be unlawful to shoot water fowl from floating blinds
unless the same are anchored. No floating blind shall be set or shot
from within four hundred yards of any other person’s blind or shore
without the written consent of such other person.

3. All floating blinds shall be taken in, one-half hour after sun-
sect; and for the purposes of this act a blind shall be construed to be
taken in when it is in tow leaving the hunting grounds.

4. Any person violating the provisions of this act shall be deemed
guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction shall be fined not less
than ten nor more than one hundred dollars or confined in jail not
exceeding one month, or both, in the discretion of the court or jury
trying the case.
