Nongame Wildlife
Nongame wildlife
Terrestrial and semi-aquatic vertebrates not normally hunted for sport. The majority of wild vertebrates are contained in this group. In the United States wildlife agencies are funded largely by hunting license fees and by excise taxes on arms and ammunition used for hunting, and they have had to develop other revenue sources for nongame wildlife. The most common method is the state income-tax checkoff, by which citizens may donate portions of their tax returns to nongame wildlife programs. A limited amount of federal aid for such programs has recently been made available to state wildlife agencies through the Nongame Wildlife Act of 1980.
