Which activity is generally prohibited during hunting seasons?

Hunting out of season is generally prohibited because it disrupts wildlife populations and their breeding cycles, which can lead to population declines and imbalances in the ecosystem. Wildlife management regulations are in place to ensure that hunting occurs during designated seasons when game populations can sustain harvest, and to protect animals during their breeding periods.

The other activities such as hiking in the woods, setting up camp in public land, and observing wildlife are generally permitted during hunting seasons, provided that individuals follow any specific regulations and safety guidelines. These activities do not interfere with hunting regulations and often coexist with responsible hunting practices, promoting a balance between recreation and conservation.
