It shall be unlawful for any person to sell the raw, undressed fur, hide, skin, or pelt of a raccoon lawfully taken by means other than trapping unless such person has a current valid raccoon fur seller's license issued by the department. Any person violating this subsection shall be guilty of a misdemeanor.
