Code of Virginia - Title 29.1 Game, Inland Fisheries And Boating - Section 29.1-345 Stationary blinds in the public waters for nonriparian owners

§ 29.1-345. Stationary blinds in the public waters for nonriparian owners

Unless a license has been obtained pursuant to § 29.1-344, and a stake or a blind has been erected and marked within the time stated as specified in that section, in any year, the owners of riparian rights, their lessees or permittees shall forfeit the privilege of licensing blinds on their shores and also lose priority for licensing stationary blinds in the public waters adjoining such shores. Any locations remaining in the public waters shall belong to whoever first obtains a license and erects a stake or a blind. The blind cannot be located in water having a greater depth than eight feet at mean high tide on the site selected. In addition, the blind must be at least 500 yards from any other stationary blind, and the license for that season must be properly affixed to the structure. The nonriparian license for a stationary blind in the public waters may be obtained on and after July 1 and on or before September 30. A stake or blind shall be erected on the site, and a license plate supplied with the license for that season must be affixed thereto by October 10.
