2. (b) A landowner's authorization for the management of wildlife or exotic animals shall be valid for the life of the permit unless the permit expires without renewal, is suspended or revoked; or, if the landowner's authorization specifies a certain time period, then the landowner's authorization will be valid for that specified time.
3. (c) A landowner's authorization for hunting shall be approved only for depredating animals and exotic animals.
4. (d) A landowner's authorization will not be approved for non-indigenous wild animals except as authorized by the department when a specific wild animal(s) has escaped from captivity.

The landowner's authorization form shall have attached a list of participating landowner names, ranch names, addresses, and acreage for each participating landowner. The landowner's authorization may be signed by one authorized agent who represents the group of landowners or an association.
