or permit or the statute authorizing its issuance states that such

license is required.

in section 11-0523 of this article, such taking is exempt from the

requirement of a license which authorizes the holder to hunt wildlife or

trap, unless the provision authorizing such taking specifies that such

license is required.

family and persons actually employed by him in the cultivation of his

farm or in the management of the licensed pond may, without fishing

license, take fish in accordance with section 11-1911 and regulations

governing the taking of fish from such fish ponds.
