No person may engage in the commercial taking, trapping, or hooking of turtles without obtaining a permit from the director, who may issue the permits at the director's discretion. The director shall designate the form of the permits, the areas or waters in which the permits are valid, and any other restrictions. The director shall have authority to contract with any person to remove turtles from any waters or areas of this state. Moneys derived from the sale of turtle permits or turtle removal contracts must be credited to the game and fish fund in the same manner as income from sale of fishing licenses.
