    Until a cooperative agreement has been entered into between the 
Chief of the Forest Service and appropriate State officials for the 
regulation of game as provided in Sec. 241.2 and the necessary 
implementing laws or regulations have been promulgated and taken effect 
in order to carry out such cooperative agreement the following 
paragraphs shall be effective:
    (a) Any person desiring to hunt or take game or non-game animals, 
game or non-game birds, or fish, upon any National Forest lands or 
waters embraced within the boundaries of a military reservation or a 
national game or bird refuge, preserve, sanctuary, or reservation 
established by or under authority of an act of Congress, shall procure 
in advance a permit from the Forest Supervisor. The permit shall be 
issued for a specified season, shall fix the bag or creel limits, and 
shall prescribe such other conditions as the Regional Forester may 
consider necessary for carrying out the purposes for which such lands 
have been set aside or reserved.
    (b) Officials of the Forest Service will cooperate with persons, 
firms, corporations, and State and county officials in the protection, 
management, and utilization of game and non-game animals, game and non-
game birds, and fish, upon national forest lands of the character 
referred to in paragraph (a) of this section. The Chief of the Forest 
Service may authorize the acceptance of contributions from cooperators 
for the payment of expenses incurred in carrying out the provisions of 
this section.
    (c) When necessary for the protection of the forest or the 
conservation of animal life on refuges under paragraphs (a) and (b) of 
this section, the Chief of the Forest Service may sell, barter, 
exchange, or donate game and non-game animals. When the interests of 
game conservation will be promoted thereby, the Chief of the Forest 
Service may accept donations of game and non-game animals, game and non-
game birds, and fish, or the eggs of birds and fish.
