B. The following rules will apply to those lands which dove hunting rights have been leased by the Department of Wildlife and Fisheries for the day(s) specified in the lease.

1. All hunters are required to have a daily permit. This permit will be available at the field on the day of the hunt. Permits will be issued on a first come, first serve basis. An administrative fee may be charged for daily permits.

2. Leased fields may be closed to additional hunters when a predetermined number of permits have been issued. However, additional hunters may be admitted throughout the day as hunters leave the field and surrender their permits.

3. No alcoholic beverages may be consumed or possessed on the leased property. Persons who appear to be impaired or under the influence of alcohol or other controlled substances will be denied access to the field(s).

4. Shot is restricted to non-toxic shot, size 6 and smaller.

5. Repealed.

6. Loaded firearms are prohibited in vehicles or at check stations.

7. Persons exhibiting unsafe gun handling as determined by LDWF staff or assigns shall be removed from the field(s).
