Wildlife value orientation of landowners from five states in the upper midwest, USA
Five Upper Midwest states (Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa) participated in a Plains and Prairie Landscape Conservation Cooperative (PPP-LCC) funded survey of landowners. All five surveys included a 13-item wildlife value orientation (WVO) scale to provide insight into how landowners in this region make land use decisions that affect wildlife habitat. Most landowners were utilitarian (59%), 11% were identified as mutualists, …
Evaluating the role of Farm Bill conservation program participation in conserving America’s grasslands
Low survey response! Can I still use the data
Natural resource agencies often use mail surveys to collect stakeholder information. A major concern of mail surveys, however, has long been relatively low response rates compared to telephone or face-to-face interviews. Survey research has largely focused on achieving high response rates; however, in some situations even well-designed surveys can have low response rates. We present an example of a three-page (25 questions) survey measuring opini…
A Values-Based Private Landowner Typology to Improve Grassland Conservation Initiatives
Many conservation initiatives are based on natural science alone, despite an extensive body of literature demonstrating that the incorporation of social science generates more successful and lasting outcomes. The Land Use Value (LUV) scale is an example of a social science tool that grassland conservation practitioners can use to improve their understanding of the land use decisions of private agricultural landowners. Drawing on data from a mail …
Motivations for Enrollment Into the Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program in the James River Basin of South Dakota
The Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program (CREP) targets high-priority conservation needs (e.g., water quality, wildlife habitat) by paying landowners an annual rental rate to remove environmentally sensitive or agriculturally unproductive lands from rowcrop production, and then implement conservation practices on these lands. This study examined motivations of South Dakota landowners for enrolling in the James River Basin CREP. All 517 newly …
Motivations of Female Black Hills Deer Hunters
State fish and wildlife agencies are particularly interested in attracting female participation because of the potential to offset declining participation in hunting. Understanding female hunters’ motivations will be critical for designing effective recruitment and retention programs for women hunters. Although female participation in hunting is increasing, males still outnumber females by about tenfold. Gender differences in deer hunters were ex…
Community Fisheries in Eastern South Dakota
We surveyed anglers on five community fishing lakes near Brookings, South Dakota to assess angler use and satisfaction. The community lakes attracted younger anglers when compared to statewide and national averages. Overall, satisfaction was generally high (74%) among anglers fishing community lakes. Logistic regression analysis showed that harvest rate, anglers targeting trout, familiarity with the lake, adults fishing with children, and fishing…
Does Age Matter? The Influence of Age on Response Rates in a Mixed-Mode Survey
The appeal of cost savings and faster results has fish and wildlife management agencies considering the use of Internet surveys instead of traditional mail surveys to collect information from their constituents. Internet surveys, however, may suffer from differential age-related response rates, potentially producing biased results if certain age groups respond to Internet surveys differently than they do to mail surveys. We examined this concern …
A Bivalent Scale for Measuring Crowding Among Deer Hunters
One factor that may influence satisfaction in outdoor recreation is crowding, which historically has been defined as a negative evaluation of the density of other participants. While this definition is suitable for most scenarios, there are circumstances where encounters with others in the area are evaluated positively and thus contribute to the satisfaction of the participant. To adequately describe this phenomenon we suggest a more inclusive me…
Comparison of an Internet Versus Mail Survey
The benefits of Internet-based surveys are often exaggerated with claims that Internet surveys are always faster, better, cheaper, and easier for researchers than conventional survey methods. This case study compares two side-by-side surveys of South Dakota resident spring turkey hunters (traditional mail survey vs. by e-mail with link to the Web-based survey: sample size of 1,200 each). With approximate equal effort to contact hunters the Intern…

A Test of the Practical Applications of Wildlife Value Orientations Using an E-mail Panel
A 2004 study assessing wildlife value orientations in the western United States facilitated demonstration of an “e-mail focus group” approach. The study provided state fish and wildlife agencies with e-mail addresses matched to specific wildlife value orientation types. This information was intended to ensure adequate representation of specific publics in attempts to obtain input by email. This article reports findings from a pilot test of the e-…
Findings Abstract
This study evaluated the image of North Dakota's Game and Fish Department (NDGFD) from the perspective of: (1) North Dakota residents, (2) NDGFD employees, and (3) the NDGFD employees’ predictions of the public's responses. Reactions of the general public were obtained from a pilot study (Wildlife Values in the West) involving six states (Teel, Bright, & Manfredo, 2003 Teel, T. L., Bright, A. D. and Manfredo, M. L. 2003. Regional results from the…

Hunters’ Concerns About Chronic Wasting Disease in South Dakota
In South Dakota, chronic wasting disease (CWD) was first discovered during the winter of 1997–1998 in seven privately owned captive elk herds. This prompted the South Dakota Department of Game, Fis
A classification scheme to better understand satisfaction of Black Hills deer hunters
This research applies the multiple satisfactions concept in segmenting hunters to gain a better understanding of the relationship between harvest success (harvesting a doe or a buck) and satisfaction. South Dakota Black Hills deer hunters were segmented into seven types (nature, social, excitement, meat, trophy, solitude, and exercise) based on their main reason for liking to hunt deer in the Black Hills. Exercise hunters were dropped from furthe…
Developing the wildlife stakeholder acceptance capacity concept
The concept of wildlife stakeholder acceptance capacity (WSAC) has developed from different perspectives. Depending on the perspective taken by the scholars addressing the concept, it may be seen as primarily cultural, social, or economic in nature. Despite the “fuzziness,”; the development of these various perspectives on the concept has enhanced its emerging place as a fundamental element of modern wildlife management. However, our own experien…
