Section 307.

Whenever after due investigation the commission shall find that game fish, resident or migratory birds, game or fur-bearing mammals, or amphibia have decreased in numbers in any areas, districts, or portions thereof to such an extent that a scarcity exists, the commission may reduce the daily bag limit and the possession limit on such game fish, birds, mammals, or amphibia as are in danger of depletion, for such period of time as may be specified or until such time as new legislation thereon enacted by the Legislature may become effective.

Any regulation issued under the provisions of this section shall be filed with the Secretary of State, and such filing shall be deemed a legal notice thereof.

Such regulation shall be published twice in at least one newspaper of general circulation in any county affected by such order. The publications shall be separated by a period of not less than one week and not more than two weeks. Such regulation shall be posted in such public places in each county as the director may direct.
