public hunting
Public hunting refers to regulated hunting activities allowed on public lands, such as national forests and wildlife areas, by licensed hunters. It provides a sustainable way to manage wildlife populations, prevent overpopulation, and generate funding for conservation efforts through licensing fees and permits. Rules and seasons are established by wildlife agencies to ensure hunting is conducted ethically and safely. Public hunting offers accessible opportunities for outdoor recreation, helps control animal populations, and supports ecosystem balance, all while complying with established regulations to protect both wildlife and public safety.
