“…An argument in favor of keeping prices for deer tags low has been that since legally deer belong to the people of each state, the state should not charge a high price for use of this resource. Lotteries and other allocation mechanisms are regularly used to limit the number of tags issued: Sandrey et al [20], Hussain and Tschirhart [21], Roach et al [22]. Wildlife managers who allocate the tags do not have authority to raise prices, but by increasing the number of tags can often increase revenue to their department.…”

Analysis of data obtained from an ongoing internet search indicates that the U.S. deer harvest has been falling since about the year 2000. California has had the largest decline from peak to recent harvest of any state. Declining timber sales are highly correlated with the decline in California. States like California with a relatively high proportion of public land, a low hunter success rate, and a persistently skewed buck-to-doe harvest ratio report a lower harvest as a percent of peak. An economic framework is presented to explain how the public decision making process for deer management and the practice of setting the price of deer hunting licenses well below market equilibrium incentivizes some of these result.

“…While the range of economic perspectives and applications to the above wildliferelated issues are diverse, we examined one segment of economic analysis that commonly has been applied to wildlife management issues, contingent valuation. Contingent valuation has been widely applied to estimate the economic value of wildliferelated activities such as hunting (Duffield and Neher 1990, Fried et al 1995, Roach et al 1996, fishing (Olsen et al 1991), and conservation issues (Jakus et al 1997, Reaves et al 1999, Loomis 2000. Although less often applied for the purpose, CV can be useful in predicting the effect of wildlife-related recreation fee changes (e.g., license fees, entrance fees for viewing areas) on participation and revenue to the agency (Anderson et al 1985, Remington et al 1996,Teisl et al 1999, Sutton et al 2001.…”

Although contingent valuation (CV) often has been applied in the wildlife management field, the validity of CV remains a concern. This study explored the convergent and predictive validity of CV in a wildlife‐related issue and addressed the use of CV in fee‐structure decisions by examining estimates of participation and revenue associated with different deer (Odocoileus hemionus) and elk (Cervus canadensis) hunting license fees in Colorado. We examined convergent validity by comparing CV estimates of resident deer and elk hunting license sales to estimates from an analysis of historic license sales. We examined predictive validity by comparing estimates of nonresident deer and elk license sales to actual license sales after a fee increase took place. With respect to convergent validity, elk license sale estimates from the CV and historic analysis showed strong correspondence, but deer license sales from the 2 methods did not show strong convergence. Predictive validity test results showed that the CV model underestimated actual elk license sales at the increased fee by 31% and overestimated deer license sales by 55%. Implications of the results suggest a need for stronger correspondence in context in hunts between the CV scenario and when the fee increase takes place. Also, issues surrounding information provided to respondents in CV studies should be further explored.
