Summary

Wildlife is becoming the principal, as opposed to a supplemental, enterprise in many ranches. Forage and brush control considerations for wildlife habitat have also become integral management issues for some ranch operations. This study illustrates the financial implications of alternative management strategies targeted toward optimizing wildlife habitat and the profitability of ranching/hunting operations.
