owned land or any land or water owned by the Federal Gov-
ernment after receiving consent from the authorities herein
named, locate state game refuges or fish refuges on state-
owned or national-owned forests, lands, or waters.

and when the Game Warden may deem it necessary boundaries
of said Refuge may be defined by fireline, road, or other clear
strip of land or by at least one wire at the boundary thereof.
On the boundary of each refuge there shall be posted in con-
spicuous places notices informing the public that the territory
is a "State Game Refuge—Hunting is Unlawful", and such
other information or rules and regulations as may be deemed
advisable.
