Learn more about hunting on public lands. Aldo Leopold, a hunter and conservationist, wrote the book on modern-day wildlife management. Some of the main tenets of wildlife stewardship include using science to develop wildlife policy, only killing wildlife for legitimate purposes such as food, and upholding the ideal of hunting as inexpensive and accessible to all -- preventing the U.

Incorporating those guiding principles, hunting on public lands does not pose a threat to the wildlife populations and helps with sound management of wildlife. Public lands in much of America are surrounded by development or human activity in various forms, and as such, need to be carefully managed. At many sites, humans are the only remaining predator for species such as deer, and reintroducing natural predators is not feasible given the proximity to people.

This makes hunting a particularly valuable management tool for maintaining balanced wildlife populations. For example if some of the deer are not harvested, they destroy habitat for themselves and other animals, and die from starvation or disease.

Not only does this help manage wildlife populations, it also provides food for many Americans. Alaska is unique among states not only in the extent to which its inhabitants live off the land but because of hunting and fishing directives set by the Federal Subsistence Management Program.
