(2) A minimum of 100 birds cumulative of all species authorized to be hunted in an individual shooting preserve must be released each year on the licensed area during the shooting preserve season.

(3) Artificially propagated upland game birds released on a shooting preserve during the shooting preserve season must be at least 14 weeks of age and must be marked prior to release in a manner that distinguishes them from wild upland game birds.

(4) For each shooting preserve season, a shooting preserve operator shall maintain a record of the total number, by species and source, of artificially propagated upland game birds released and harvested and the number of wild upland game birds harvested in the preserve. The record must be open to inspection by a delegated representative of the department at any reasonable time and must be the basis on which the game-recovery limits in 87-4-523 are determined.
