§256b Hunting and fishing; general rules and regulations; protection of property; violation of statutes or rules; penalties

Summary

Hunting, killing, wounding, or capturing wild birds or animals is not allowed inside the park at any time, except when a dangerous animal must be killed or stopped to protect people from death or injury. Fish may not be taken out of park waters except at the seasons, times, and in the ways that the Secretary of the Interior sets. The Secretary of the Interior must make and publish rules to manage and protect the park, its timber, minerals, natural features, and its animals, birds, and fish. Having the dead body or any part of a wild bird or animal while in the park is evidence you broke the rules. Anyone, including transportation companies, who knows or has reason to believe the animals were taken illegally and who receives them for transport, or anyone who breaks the park rules or damages park property (buildings, fences, signs, trees, plants, springs, minerals, natural features, crops, etc.), is guilty of a class B misdemeanor under title 18.
