Abstract: The travel-cost method is used to evaluate the demand for hunting trips in Kansas. In contrast to earlier studies, time spent on site for other recreational activities is explicitly included in the empirical analysis. The demand for hunting trips falls as cost rises. The hunter's age, investment in hunting equipment, and site quality characteristics significantly influence demand. Conversely, time-on-site for non-hunting activities and length of stay do not significantly influence the demand for hunting trips. These results lend support to other analyses which have implicitly assumed that length of stay and time spent in secondary recreational activities are not relevant to recreational demand estimation. The estimates suggest that Kansas hunters realize benefits of about $170 per hunting trip.
