Laws and Regulations of Wildlife Management.

Catalog description

Students examine federal, state, and private laws governing wildlife management, hunting, and landownership with a regional focus. Students analyze how legal frameworks influence wildlife production, ownership, and conservation practices. Through case studies and applied problem-solving, students evaluate real-world legal scenarios involving public and private landowners, exotic wildlife ownership, and game management. Emphasis may be placed on synthesizing ecological principles, policy interpretation, and ethical considerations to formulate defensible management decisions in compliance with regulatory frameworks. Prerequisite: WMGT 2301 with a grade of C or better.
