Field and Laboratory Technic in Wildlife Management aims to provide students with accurate, rapid, and concise methods for obtaining scientific information in wildlife management, with a focus on game birds and mammals. Although Howard M. Wight initially wrote the book for students at the University of Michigan's School of Forestry and Conservation, he also intended it to serve teachers, investigators, and practitioners in the broader field of wildlife management. The book emphasizes applied science over pure science, reflecting the author's experiences with localized approaches and suggesting adaptability to individual needs. It encourages students to augment their knowledge with additional material from current literature and other related courses. The text includes references and questions, aimed at enhancing the reader's understanding and application of the methods described.
