Most wildlife experts and sportsmen agree the best way to protect a species is to make it a game animal. State biologists will analyze the species, conduct various population estimates and set hunting limits to ensure that species doesn’t drop below a certain level. Although non-game species in general are protected from hunting (such as songbirds), their numbers are not as closely monitored.
