State Game Lands now totaling more than 1.5 million acres are purchased, managed and maintained primarily for outdoor recreation in the form of sport-hunting.

While sport hunting, embracing the elements of fair chase, is the ultimate goal in wildlife management, other benefits have enhanced the quality of life for all who enjoy the out-of-doors.
