The CCP will guide management of the refuges over the next 15 years and will ensure that the refuges fulfill its established purposes and contributes to the mission of the National Wildlife Refuge System.

Fish and Wildlife Service. Hunting activities are allowed in both types of areas. Removing the legal designation of "State Game Refuge" from these areas will benefit CDFW law enforcement operations and constituents who participate in hunting.

The scientific community's knowledge of wildlife ecology and behavior has increased since these refuges were created, and based on this information, CDFW has developed significant regulatory processes to protect and enhance wildlife populations. Elimination of the "State Game Refuge" designation will have no significant impact on the wildlife and ecosystems of these lands. Elimination of any refuges status would increase the amount of private and public land open to hunting in California.

The primary result of eliminating the designation is expected to be an influx of hunters having recreational opportunity in new areas and a change in the general purpose for which CDFW Wardens patrol the areas.

A change in status is not expected to impact the necessary levels of law enforcement staffing, time or equipment required to continue enforcing the laws in these areas.

CDFW does not anticipate any economic impact to the public or to the Department should any refuge s be eliminated. The elimination of the "State Game Refuge" designation may ultimately result in the issuance of fewer game law citations, as the current designation is known to cause confusion. Many of these areas currently lack sufficient signage, and are not known to hunters who are hunting in unfamiliar grounds.

Note the refuges are called "districts" in the statute e. Because they are not wildlife refuges. These State Game Refuges are a refuge in name only. The lands within the somewhat arbitrary boundaries are simply "no hunting" areas while all other land management activities and practices of the landowner are possible whether they benefit wildlife or not.

These areas are not managed for wildlife refuge purposes as are federal Fish and Wildlife Service refuges or state Wildlife Areas. The areas were established around the state during the 's with the intent to protect deer primarily from being overexploited during the period of early regulation and enforcement of game laws.

The 's were the end of "market hunting" of game species and the beginning of active conservation. It was hoped that deer would reproduce and expand out from these refuges and repopulate other areas where deer were actively hunted.

However, in the intervening years or so, deer managers and researchers have learned that deer populations do not behave that way and instead show a high fidelity to traditional winter and summer ranges.
