Game Animal Management

A-1: Game Production Game is a primary objective in these areas. Hunting seasons and bag limits provide maximal sustained public hunting opportunities and benefits. Areas include Game Management Areas (GMA).
A-2: Mixed Game and Other Uses In these areas game management is an objective integrated with other uses. Habitat may be manipulated for game enhancement. Game populations are managed to acceptable levels using public hunting.
A-3: Game Control (public) In these areas resource protection is the primary objective, with emphasis on native plant communities and watersheds. Seasons and bag limits are designed for public hunting to reduce impacts to native resources.
A-4: Game Control (supervised) These areas are designated for animal removal by staff or agency designees because of environmental sensitivity, remoteness, or public safety.
