- W2020899810 abstract "Abstract A study of 1993 Colorado waterfowl hunters examined factors affecting individuals’ decisions to hunt waterfowl and identified preferences for potential management strategies. This information was used in revising waterfowl regulations in the state. A stratified random sample of 1,400 resident Colorado waterfowl hunters was drawn from 1992–93 Colorado Duck Stamps, 700 from east of the Continental Divide (Central Flyway) and 700 from the west of the Continental Divide (Pacific Flyway). A 13‐page mail questionnaire was sent in June, 1993 to all subjects. Those individuals indicating that they had hunted in 1992–93 were asked to complete the entire questionnaire and were coded as active hunters for the analyses. Those who indicated they had not hunted were asked to return the questionnaire and were subsequently sent an abbreviated questionnaire with some of the same questions as the original survey. Those completing this abbreviated survey were coded as inactive hunters (those who hunted in the past, but did not hunt in 1992–93). We received 752 usable questionnaires for a response rate of 58%. Inactive hunters listed lack of time as the most frequent reason for not hunting, followed by medical reasons or retiring from hunting due to age. Both constraints to hunting (such as the cost of a lease, license, and stamps) and effects of crowding negatively influenced respondents’ decisions to hunt waterfowl during the 1992–93 season, with crowding the most negative factor. Active respondents hunted an average of 7.87 days for ducks and 9.75 days for geese in 1992–93, bagging an average of 7.59 ducks and 5.17 geese. Respondents preferred a duck hunting season which would allow a bag limit of 5 ducks per day or a total season length of more than 60 days, and goose hunting with a bag limit of 4 or 5 geese per day. Active hunters spent most of their time hunting primarily on private land. During the 1992–93 season, 17% of active respondents leased a waterfowl hunting area and paid an average of $278 for their share of an annual lease fee. Hypothetically, respondents would be willing to pay an average of $ 146 for a high quality lease on private land to hunt ducks, $176 for geese, and $285 to hunt both. Subjects were asked whether they would prefer either complex or simple regulations, if complex regulations would allow for increased bag limits by structuring regulations to target certain species or sexes. Simple regulations would have reduced bag limits, while being easier to understand. Both active (53%) and inactive respondents (63%) preferred simple regulations with reduced bag limits over complex regulations with increased bag limits. Assuming a need to reduce hunting pressure on ducks, the majority of both active (62%) and inactive respondents (45%) preferred reduced bag limits over reduced season length. Assuming waterfowl numbers would allow for increased hunting pressure, respondents preferred increased season length (active=58%, inactive=45%) over increased bag limits. Respondents overwhelmingly supported continuing with annual changes in regulations which maximize hunting opportunities (active=85%, inactive=77%), over changes every three to five years. Respondents strongly prefer shooting hours start 1/2 hour before sunrise (active=78%, inactive=66%) versus at sunrise. Subjects were opposed to closing public areas to hunting some days during the season, and allowing only A.M. or only P.M. hunting. The majority of respondents supported the conversion to steel shot (active=57%, inactive=67%). More active hunters (57%) than inactive hunters (39%) reported steel shot to be somewhat or highly ineffective (χ2=28.60, p< .001). When asked about their willingness to purchase a non‐toxic steel shot substitute possessing all the characteristics of lead shot (weight and softness) but costing $2‐$3 more per box than steel shot, 13% of active respondents would be willing to use the substitute for all shotgun shooting, 45% for all waterfowl hunting, 32% for just special waterfowl hunting situations, and only 10% said they would never be willing to use it." @default.
