as amended.
[Amended 2-24-2015 by Ord. No. 2015-01]
It shall be unlawful for any person to
hunt, pursue, take or kill any wild bird or animal in the Town with
rifles or firearms of any description. The use of archery equipment
shall be allowed for deer hunting in the Town and subject to all applicable
state laws and regulations, including but not limited to the Rhode

as amended from time to time. This use shall be permitted on parcels
of privately owned land of five or more acres with the written permission
of the landowner. The written permission shall also include the expressed
written consent of the landowner to allow the Lincoln Police Department
to enter upon the property to determine compliance with this chapter.
The landowner giving the permission shall designate and mark the boundaries
of the property. The hunter shall register with the Lincoln Police
Department as to when and where the hunting shall take place and provide
the Police Department with a copy of the written permission, hunting
license and proficiency certification. Hunting on Town property is
specifically prohibited.
All violations of state law and/or regulations will be prosecuted by the Rhode Island Departmental of Environmental Management. Failure to register in accordance with this chapter shall be subject to a fine of $250. Any other violations of this chapter shall be prosecuted by the Lincoln Police Department and shall be subject to a penalty in accordance with § 1-13 of the Municipal Code.
