It is a Class 2 misdemeanor for any person to set, place, erect, or cause to be set, placed, or erected, or to use any fishing house, fishing shanty, or other structure or shelter at any time upon the ice of any of the public waters of the state unless the name and address of the owner is plainly marked on its exterior in letters at least two inches in height, and the door is constructed to permit entry at all times to the structure, except when unoccupied and locked from the outside. Any portable shelter which is removed from the ice daily is exempt from the marking requirements.
