(a) No person shall hunt with any type of weapon within the Village except that hunting shall be permitted upon certain open territories within the Village. Open territories are defined as those land areas within the Village which are: not closer than 600 feet from any building; not closer than 600 feet from a street, road or highway; and not closer than 600 feet from the closest boundary of a subdivision. Hunting within the boundaries of a subdivision is prohibited. Each person hunting upon any permitted open territory shall obtain written permission of each landowner upon whose land the person is hunting, and each person hunting shall also obtain permission from the Chief of Police of the Village after showing the Chief written permission from the landowner or landowners involved. Such written permission from the landowner shall be dated and state the period of time during which such hunting will be permitted, or if there is no period of time indicated, then such written permission shall authorize hunting only for the day indicated by the date. The permission issued by the Chief shall not be issued for a time period exceeding twenty-four hours. Only a shotgun using six number two shot or smaller, or a long bow and arrow shall be used for hunting in the restricted territories referred to above.
(b) Whoever violates this section is guilty of a minor misdemeanor. Punishment shall be as provided in Section 698.02.
