In a prosecution in a court of competent jurisdiction for violation hereof, the failure of the defendant to produce written permission to hunt, fish, trap, or take wildlife, as the case may be, on the lands on which he is charged with trespassing, signed by the owner, occupant, or lessee thereof shall be prima facie proof that he was forbidden so to trespass.
