game animal management

Game animal management involves overseeing and maintaining wild populations like deer, elk, or turkey to ensure healthy, sustainable numbers. It includes strategies such as habitat conservation, regulated hunting, and research to balance animal populations with ecological health and recreational use. Proper management helps prevent overpopulation, reduces human-wildlife conflict, and supports biodiversity. It requires understanding animal behavior, habitat needs, and population dynamics, often involving collaboration among wildlife professionals, landowners, and hunters to promote ecological integrity and sustainable use of wildlife resources.
