(2) Any resident of the United States who has resided in this state continuously for a period of thirty days before making an application for a permit under the Game Law and who has a bona fide intention of becoming a legal resident of this state, supported by documentary proof, shall be deemed to be a resident and may be issued a resident permit under the Game Law. The issuance of a hunter's permit to anyone known to be physically or mentally unfit to carry or use firearms is prohibited. All nonresident hunters and fur harvesters regardless of age shall be required to obtain a permit, and all nonresident anglers under sixteen years of age shall be accompanied by a person possessing a valid fishing permit. The commission may limit the number of days for which a permit is issued and the number of fish or game birds taken on one permit and may issue coupons which are attached to nonresident permits for the purpose of tagging and identification. Nonresident fur-harvesting permits may be issued only to residents of states which sell similar permits to residents of Nebraska. No hunting permit or fur-harvesting permit shall be required of any nonresident entering this state solely to participate in scheduled dog trials for which an entry fee is charged. For purposes of this subsection, scheduled dog trials shall mean events in which hunting dogs and their owners or handlers compete and are judged under controlled conditions in various feats of skill and performance in the hunting or retrieving of birds and animals when such events are conducted under the written authorization of the commission.
