hunting area

Where prey roams

A hunting area is a designated region where hunting is permitted, often managed by wildlife agencies or private landowners.

The term may specify particular game: a waterfowl hunting area, a deer hunting area.

Some hunting areas require permits or have seasonal restrictions.

The phrase also appears in wildlife biology to describe the territory where a predator seeks prey.
