hunting quotas
Permitted kill numbers
Hunting quotas are limits set by wildlife agencies on how many animals of a species may be legally killed in a given area during a hunting season.
The quotas aim to balance conservation with hunting interests, preventing overharvesting while allowing sustainable take: The elk quota for this unit is twelve bulls.
Hunters may need to enter a lottery when applications exceed the quota.
