Section 21.120. Ground blinds and tree stands.—Clarity; Need.
Subsection (c) contains the following sentence ''Violation of this section is prohibited.'' We question the need for this language given that prohibited activity is addressed in Section 21.123 (Violation of rules regarding conduct in State forests). We recommend that subsection (c) be deleted. The same concern applies to Section 21.121(c).
