The owner or lessee of any lands or lake set aside as a state game refuge under this chapter may not hunt or carry firearms within the limits thereof, nor permit the members of that person's family or other persons to do so. However, if that person has reason to believe there are carnivorous birds or animals within the refuge, or if that person finds any of the same thereon, that person may, with the director's written permission, hunt, trap, and kill any carnivorous or unprotected birds and animals that prey upon protected game birds or animals found within the refuge.
