(2) "Hunting lease" means the aggregate amount of land owned by one individual, partnership, firm, or corporation or the aggregate amount of land in a hunting cooperative in a county and leased for hunting purposes. If an individual, partnership, firm, or corporation owns a single tract of land, or if a hunting cooperative has land, located partially in one county and partially in another county, the individual, partnership, firm, or corporation or the hunting cooperative may not be required to have a separate hunting lease license for that portion of the land located in the second county, unless the individual, partnership, firm, or corporation, or a landowner participating in the hunting cooperative, owns other land leased for hunting purposes in the second county. If an individual, partnership, firm, or corporation owns a single tract of land, or if a hunting cooperative has land, located partially in one county and partially in another county and the individual, partnership, firm, or corporation or the hunting cooperative is not required to have two licenses, the aggregate acreage of the tract shall be used for determining the amount of the license fee required by this subchapter.

(A) a person who owns the land, or manages a hunting cooperative that has land, on which a hunting lease is located; or
(B) an individual listed on the license application as the landowner's agent who holds a hunting lease license.
