     89.17 Leases and permits. 

    The commissioner shall have power to grant and execute, in 
 the name of the state, leases and permits for the use of any 
 forest lands under the authority of the commissioner for any 
 purpose which in the commissioner's opinion is not inconsistent 
 with the maintenance and management of the forest lands, on 
 forestry principles for timber production.  Every such lease or 
 permit shall be revocable at the discretion of the commissioner 
 at any time subject to such conditions as may be agreed on in 
 the lease.  The approval of the commissioner of administration 
 shall not be required upon any such lease or permit.  No such 
 lease or permit for a period exceeding ten years shall be 
 granted except with the approval of the executive council.  

    Hunting of wild game is prohibited on any land which has 
 been posted by the lessee to prohibit hunting.  Such prohibition 
 shall apply to all persons including the lessee.
