Guns, traps, teams, horses, and other transportation used to illegally hunt park wildlife must be forfeited. Park officers may seize this property and hold it during prosecution. A conviction adds forfeiture as an extra penalty, on top of other punishment. The Secretary of the Interior disposes of the forfeited property.

Any gun, trap, team, horse, or other means of transportation that someone uses inside the park to kill, trap, snare, or capture a wild bird or animal must be forfeited to the United States. Officers working in the park may seize this property and hold it while the person who used it is being prosecuted for violating this Act. If that person is convicted, the forfeiture is imposed as an extra penalty, on top of whatever other punishment the law provides. The Secretary of the Interior is responsible for disposing of and accounting for the forfeited property.
