Notwithstanding the limitations of § 50-11-1250, a shooting preserve operator licensed as of December 31, 2005, to release pen-raised mallards or pen-raised turkeys may continue this privilege. All other provisions of this article shall apply. Once the current shooting preserve operator chooses not to release pen-raised mallards or pen-raised turkeys, the privilege is revoked. If the current shooting preserve operator does not choose to apply for renewal of a shooting preserve license, the privilege is revoked. The current license may not be transferred in any form or manner at any time to anyone. The current license cannot increase or decrease current acreage.
