Hi Biker69,

Game Management Areas (GMA) are not nature reserves but, as the title implies, game management areas, controlled hunting is allowed in these areas by professional hunters with hunting clients with the required licenses. Hunting is allowed outside of these areas except in national parks and other protected areas by hunters other than professional hunters so long as they have the correct hunting licenses, these areas are known as open hunting areas . The protection title is Game management Area not the name of the game management. GMAs are intended as buffers around national parks and other protected areas.
