Which is a principle of the North American Model of Wildlife Conservation?

Markets for game have been eliminated.

  1. Markets for game have been eliminated ✔
  2. Wildlife belongs to whoever owns the land
  3. Hunting is reserved for the wealthy

Why: Unregulated commercial selling of wild game drove some species toward extinction. Today, selling most wild game is banned or tightly regulated.

Huh, didn't know that: Another principle, 'the democracy of hunting,' means everyone gets a fair chance to hunt, regardless of wealth.

The dad joke
Why did the deer close its market stall? Business was too dear.
