Determinants of Hunter Participation: Duck Hunting in the Mississippi Flyway

Abstract: In this paper the authors study the relationship between habitat availability, hunter success, and the rate and intensity of participation in duck hunting in the Mississippi Flyway. Using socioeconomic data from the 1975 National Survey of Hunting, Fishing and Wildlife Associated Recreation, and waterfowl habitat data from the 1970 Flyway Habitat Management Unit Project, they estimate probability and intensity of participation equations for duck hunting. The analysis differs from previous population-specific recreation studies in (a) the narrowly defined activity, (b) more precise definition of supply variables, (c) use of variables representing distance to hunting sites, and (d) the use of logit analysis to estimate participation probability equations.
