What to study for Quiz #4,
This quiz will
cover new material since the midterm exam (26, 28, and 30 October and 2 and 4
November). It will cover material from 1
powerpoint – “History of
Wildlife Laws and regulations” (all but the last slide). We have also done some supplemental
activities since then…a video for class on Wednesday and a discussion of the
sensitivity analysis. These topics could
wend their way into a quiz question.
I will probably not
ask you specific dates, but you should certainly know about events that
occurred in particular eras.
So important wildlife
law/regulation/policy topics to know for the quiz:
State “ownership”
as a public trust

CT and Hughes v. OK
