in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

Guns, traps, and other equipment used to illegally hunt in the park can be seized by officers. If the hunter is convicted, that equipment is permanently forfeited to the United States. The Secretary of the Interior decides what happens to the seized property.

Any guns, traps, teams, horses, or other means of transportation that someone uses inside the park while killing, trapping, snaring, or capturing wild animals or birds must be forfeited — given up — to the United States. Park officers can seize this property and hold onto it while the person is being prosecuted for breaking this law. If that person is convicted, the forfeiture happens as an additional penalty, on top of whatever other punishment the law imposes. The Secretary of the Interior decides how forfeited property is disposed of and accounted for.
