Game management, as a method, encompasses the systematic planning, implementation, and evaluation of interventions aimed at regulating populations of wild game species to achieve specified ecological, economic, or recreational objectives. It includes techniques such as controlled harvesting (e.g., regulated hunting quotas, season timing), habitat manipulation (e.g., vegetation management, water provision, creation of refuges), population monitoring (e.g., census surveys, demographic modeling), and, in some contexts, translocation or supplemental feeding. These methods are typically grounded in population dynamics theory, adaptive management frameworks, and quantitative assessments of carrying capacity, aiming to maintain sustainable yields while minimizing negative impacts on ecosystem structure and non-target species.
