“…An alternative indirect approach asks recreationists to evaluate their preferences for various setting characteristics (e.g., accessibility, use density) and then measures whether these setting preferences differ between homogeneous groups of recreationists based on the REP scores (e.g. Floyd & Gramann, 1997).…”

“…Starting with Hendee and Potter (), delivering hunter satisfaction has been one of the most enduring pursuits in the development and application of human dimensions research in wildlife management. Part and parcel of the emphasis on hunter satisfactions are notions that fulfilling satisfactions will increase likelihood of continued participation and that it is the responsibility of wildlife managers and agencies to provide hunting opportunities that facilitate satisfaction (Hammitt et al , ; Floyd and Gramann ; Manfredo et al ; Brunke and Hunt ). These ideas have taken on a renewed urgency as hunting license sales have declined, prompting a shift in energy and budgetary resources toward recruitment, retention, and reactivation efforts (Ryan and Shaw , Gude et al , Larson et al , Devers et al ).…”

Meeting harvest expectations is key for duck hunter satisfaction

Current literature suggests that seeing and bagging game, among other experiences, play a major role in overall satisfaction for hunters. In addition, research highlights relationships that harvest expectations may have with harvest success and in explaining satisfaction. We add to the multiple satisfactions concept that, despite other derived benefits, harvest success may be fundamental to sustain participation and duck (Anatidae) hunters themselves are agents of their own success. We used data from mail surveys conducted between 2007-2015 of Wisconsin, USA, waterfowl hunters to investigate the role of duck hunter behavior and expectations in explaining differences in season satisfaction ratings. We found that duck hunters who spent more days afield, scouted prior to hunting, were mobile during the season, and utilized public lands harvested substantially more ducks than those who did not put effort into these behaviors. Furthermore, we find evidence in support of previous work that by examining the effect of harvest success through the lens of harvest expectations, it better describes satisfaction than either measure did alone among this population of duck hunters. Based on past experiences, duck hunters may develop unrealistic expectations that doom them to dissatisfactory harvests. These results provide assistance to managers and conservationists in helping hunters understand and set realistic harvest expectations, achieve their harvest goals, and continue to be active hunters.Ó 2019 The Wildlife Society.

“…Sometimes referred to as Experience-Based Setting Management (EBSM) or Benefits-Based Management, this consumer oriented approach has for three decades used quantitative methods to probe visitor activities, motivations and setting preferences and the links between them (Driver, 1975;Driver & Brown, 1975;Floyd & Gramann, 1997;Schreyer & Driver, 1989). This conceptual framework suggests that while managers cannot guarantee that desired experiences or benefits will be achieved, they can control the integrity of the physical, Downloaded by [The University of Manchester Library] at 05:40 12 October 2014 social and managerial setting attributes with careful zoning (Brown et al, 1978;Clark & Stankey, 1979) and offer a range of settings or experience opportunities making it more likely that a diversity of visitors will achieve desired outcomes and benefits from their visit.…”

How differing levels of restoration and development within, and intensifying development next to the Copán Archaeological Park would affect the visitor experience at this World Heritage Site in Honduras has been studied. Surveys and interviews with visitors and expert observation reveal that Latin Americans, North Americans and Europeans all show a preference for a mixture of restored ruins and those being reclaimed by nature. Visitors describe how this juxtaposition adds to their experience. A majority of these visitors also indicate a strong preference for maintaining agricultural or forested lands between the Park and the town of Copán Ruins and described how the intensification of development would affect their experience. Implications for Park management and cross-boundary involvement in land use decisions at this and a similar site are discussed and recommendations given.
