Bucks Lake Game Reserve is a protected area located in the Limestone Coast of South Australia about 40 kilometres (25 mi) south-west of Mount Gambier and immediately east of the township of Carpenter Rocks. The game reserve was originally created as a National Park in 1968 under the National Parks Act 1966 and was re-proclaimed as a game reserve under the National Parks and Wildlife Act 1972 for the purpose of the conservation of wildlife and management of game. The game reserve is used for duck hunting with species being harvested including grey teal, chestnut teal, Pacific black duck, pink-eared duck and Australian shelduck. Hunting is conducted during a proclaimed open season with hunters requiring to have an ‘endorsed hunting permit’ and only to harvest maximum numbers (i.e. bag limit) of specific species. The game reserve is classified as an IUCN Category VI protected area.^[2]^[3]^[4]
