A quick definition of game law:
Game law: A law made by the government that controls hunting of animals, especially those that are not domesticated. It tells people when they can hunt, how they can hunt, and how many animals they can hunt. Some animals may not be hunted at all.
A more thorough explanation:
Game law refers to a federal or state law that regulates the hunting of game animals. These laws forbid the capturing or killing of certain game animals either entirely or during certain seasons. They also describe the methods for killing or capturing game during the hunting season and restrict the number and type of game animals that can be killed or captured.
- A state game law may prohibit the hunting of deer during the spring season when they are giving birth to their young.
- A federal game law may limit the number of ducks that a hunter can shoot in a day to protect the population of ducks.
These examples illustrate how game laws are put in place to protect the population of game animals and ensure that hunting is done in a responsible and sustainable manner.
