      such manner that all figures are plainly visible at all times.

      privilege of the license, tag or license and stamp, and to wear in plain
      sight any button issued with the license while so doing, is  presumptive
      evidence  that  the  holder is hunting, fishing or trapping, as the case
      may be, without holding the license, tag or license and  stamp  required
      by subdivision 6 of section 11-0703.
