## Sec. 6 **[**[16 U.S.C. 707](/us/usc/t16/s707)**]** ###
(a)Except as otherwise provided in this section, any person, association, partnership, or corporation who shall violate any provisions of said conventions or of this Act, or who shall violate or fail to comply with any regulation made pursuant to this Act shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and upon conviction thereof shall be fined not more than $15,000 or be imprisoned not more than six months, or both. ###
(b)Whoever, in violation of this Act, shall knowingly— ####
(1)take by any manner whatsoever any migratory bird with intent to sell, offer to sell, barter or offer to barter such bird, or ####
(2)sell, offer for sale, barter or offer to barter, any migratory bird5 shall be guilty of a felony and shall be fined not more than $2,000 or imprisoned not more than two years, or both. 5So in law. There probably should be a comma after “any migratory bird”, and the subsequent text should probably begin on the next line and align with the left margin of subsection (b). ###
(c)Whoever violates section 3(b)(2) shall be fined under title 18, United States Code, imprisoned not more than 1 year, or both. ###
(d)All guns, traps, nets and other equipment, vessels, vehicles, and other means of transportation used by any person when engaged in pursuing, hunting, taking, trapping, ensnaring, capturing, killing, or attempting to take, capture, or kill any migratory bird in violation of this Act with the intent to offer for sale, or sell, or offer for barter, or barter such bird in violation of this Act shall be forfeited to the United States and may be seized and held pending the prosecution of any person arrested for violating this Act and upon conviction for such violation, such forfeiture shall be adjudicated as a penalty in addition to any other provided for violation of this Act. Such forfeited property shall be disposed of and accounted for by, and under the authority of, the Secretary of the Interior.
