Latest version.
  • 1.  The department may, in its discretion, issue to an owner or lessee
      of wholly enclosed lands or an entire  island  a  domestic  game  animal
      breeder's  license permitting him to possess and propagate domestic game
      animals provided such animals are confined and cared  for  according  to
      specifications  and  regulations  which  the department, by order, shall
      adopt. The license  shall  expire  on  March  31  of  each  year.    The
      department  shall  prescribe  and furnish forms for application for such
      license. Applicants shall pay, and the department shall be  entitled  to
      receive, fees in accordance with the type of license issued.
        a. Class A license, fifty dollars. This license shall allow the holder
      thereof  to  purchase,  possess,  propagate, transport and sell domestic
      game animals dead or alive.
        b. Class B license, ten dollars. This license shall allow  the  holder
      thereof to purchase, possess and propagate domestic game animals for his
      own  use.  No  animals  may be sold, exchanged or given away except that
      portions of the carcass may be given away provided they are packaged and
      the package bears the name and license number of the licensee.
        2. The department may revoke the license of any licensee convicted  of
      a  violation  of this section, and no license shall be issued to him for
      the ensuing two years.
        3. Only domestic game animals legally propagated or acquired shall  be
      possessed under these licenses.
        4.  On  the premises described in the application for the license, the
      licensee may kill domestic game animals at any time and  in  any  manner
      and, with the consent of the licensee, any person may take domestic game
      animals by shooting at any time.
        5.  The  holder of a domestic game animal breeder's license shall keep
      records and make reports as required by and upon forms furnished by  the
      department.  The  reports shall be subscribed by the licensee, and shall
      contain an affirmation that the statements therein are made  subject  to
      the  penalties  of perjury. The records shall be continuous and shall be
      kept on  the  licensed  premises,  and  the  licensee  shall  allow  any
      representative  of  the  department to enter the premises to inspect his
      operations and records. Records must be retained for a period  of  three
      years.
        6. a. The department shall supply tags for Class A licenses, for which
      the  licensees shall pay five cents each, which shall be affixed to each
      quarter and loin of each carcass of  domestic  game  animals  killed  by
      Class  A  licensees  and  remain  so  affixed  until the game is finally
      prepared for consumption. No domestic game animal  so  killed,  nor  any
      portion of the carcass thereof, shall be possessed without such tag, and
      no person shall sell such quarter or loin without such tag attached.
        b.   The   tagging  required  by  this  subdivision  shall  constitute
      compliance with the tagging requirements of section  11-1721.  Loins  or
      quarters  of  domestic  game  animals,  killed  by Class A licensees and
      tagged as provided in this subdivision, may be possessed,  bought,  sold
      and offered for sale, and transported as provided in section 11-1723 and
      may  be  sold  and  offered  for sale by the holder of a Class A license
      under this section without the game dealer's  license  provided  for  in
      section 11-1719.
