(c) Injury to or the death of any person caused by wildlife;

(d) Damages, if the division has furnished to the claimant sufficient and

use such materials exclusively for game damage prevention, and if the provisions of
section 33-3-103.5 have been complied with by the division and the claimant;

(e) Damages, if the claimant has willfully failed to maintain damage
prevention materials throughout the normal life of such materials, and such

(f) Damages caused by wildlife if the claimant has unreasonably restricted
hunting on land under his control or has unreasonably restricted passage to other

(g) Damages caused by wildlife, if claimant charges a fee in excess of five
hundred dollars per person, per season, for the purpose of big game hunting access
on or across claimant's property.
