Copy with citation
Copy as parenthetical citation

The state game commission may issue licenses authorizing the establishment and operation of regulated propagated game bird shooting preserves on private lands when in the judgment of the commission such areas will not conflict with any reasonable prior interest. The commission shall govern and prescribe by regulation the following:

A. the minimum and maximum size of the areas, including the type of fences and signs;

B. the method of hunting;

C. the open and closed seasons, which need not conform to the regular hunting seasons;

D. the releasing, possession and use of legally propagated pen-raised game birds on the preserves; and

E. the fee for the licenses, which shall be just and reasonable.

History: 1953 Comp., § 53-3-30, enacted by Laws 1957, ch. 194, § 2; 1992, ch. 29, § 5.

The 1992 amendment, effective April 1, 1992, deleted the former second sentence, which read "The fee for such permit shall be twenty-five dollars ($25.00) per license year"; in Subsection D, substituted "game birds on the preserves" for "game birds thereon"; and added Subsection E and made related stylistic changes.
