Sec. 26-99. Establishment of fish and game refuges. The commissioner may establish state fish and game refuges and may, in the name and for the use of the state,
lease any tract of land, stream, lake, pond or part thereof in the state suitable for the
propagation and preservation of fish and game and may accept any gift of any interest
in any land, stream, lake, pond or part thereof or any personal property to be used for
the purpose of propagating or protecting wildlife upon such conditions as may be agreed
upon between the donor and the commissioner, subject to the approval of the Attorney
General, concerning any condition in relation to the use of the principal of any such gift
or any income therefrom, and the commissioner may exercise all of the authority of any
owner of any such property for such purposes. No provision of this section shall be
construed as limiting the right of the donor to exercise all of the rights incident to ownership of such property, except as such rights may be limited by the conditions of his gift.
