Ohio § 1533.30

§ 1533.30.

No person shall receive for transportation, transport, or cause to be transported

any box, package, or other receptacle containing fish, game birds, or wild quadrupeds 1 , or any part thereof, unless such box, package, or receptacle bears a label showing

the number and kind of such fish, game birds, or wild quadrupeds, or parts thereof,

the name of the consignor and consignee, the initial point of billing, and the destination.  Boxes, packages, or receptacles containing shipments of commercial fish may be marked

by weight instead of the number of fish contained therein. No person shall receive for transportation, transport, cause to be transported, or

have in his possession with intent to transport or secure the transportation of, beyond

the limits of this state, any game bird or game quadruped mentioned in Chapters 1531.

and 1533. of the Revised Code, which has been killed in this state. The reception and acceptance by any person within this state of such game bird or

game quadruped for shipment to a point without the state is prima-facie evidence that

it was killed within the state for conveyance beyond the limits thereof.  If such game bird or game quadruped is legally taken by a nonresident, it may be

transported by him from a point within the state to a point without the state, if

it is accompanied by the actual owner thereof, and the owner has procured a nonresident

hunting and trapping license.  If such game bird or game quadruped is taken by a resident of this state in any

other state or country, it may be transported by him from a point without the state

to a point within the state, if the owner has an affidavit or other satisfactory evidence

together with a nonresident license from the state or country in which such game bird

or game quadruped was taken as proof of legal ownership. This section does not apply to a common carrier into whose possession a game bird

or game quadruped has come for transportation in the regular course of business, while

such game bird or game quadruped is in transit through this state from a point without

this state when 2 the killing thereof is lawful to a point without this state. Each game bird or game quadruped killed, taken, had in possession, received for transportation,

or transported contrary to this section constitutes a separate offense. 1
