How Aspects of Collective Action Relate to Implementation of Cooperative Management Among Private Landowners
Forested land is increasingly owned in small parcels by family forest owners who are becoming less likely to conduct the management which supports ecosystems, economies, and communities. One way to encourage private land management is through group cooperatives. Characteristics of collective action that support group cooperative participation are well understood but how they relate to management implementation is not. Examining Wisconsin's Deer M…
Piloting an “Opt-Out” Option for Wildlife Surveys of the General Public
Random sample surveys may provide the best way to collect data that accurately represent public attitudes on wildlife issues, but survey response rates have declined in recent years. Often, little information is collected on why people choose not to participate. In a recent survey of public attitudes toward wolves in Wisconsin, we tested a method that allowed recipients to “opt-out” of participating, as well as indicate their reasons for doing so…
Influences on Hunter Support for Deer Herd Reduction as a Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) Management Strategy
The extent to which wildlife diseases like chronic wasting disease (CWD) are density dependent creates opportunities to manage them by implementing population reduction to disrupt disease spread and lower its prevalence. We tested a model to investigate the influence of risk perceptions and other salient beliefs on deer hunter support for deer density reduction as chronic wasting disease strategy in Wisconsin. We found that the influence of risk …
CWD After “the Fire”
Eight years after undertaking an unprecedented attempt to eradicate chronic wasting disease (CWD) from its free-ranging white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) population, Wisconsin wildlife managers are rethinking their strategies in the face of public opposition to their efforts. This article draws on a dozen surveys of hunters and landowners to identify six psychological bases that created deer hunter opposition to the Wisconsin plan. These…
Bob Norton. The Hunter
For those whose “bread and butter” research method is the self-administered mail questionnaire, a nasty paper cut may be their biggest risk. Imagine, then, what it must have felt like to crest a wo
Predicting Deer Hunter Harvest Behavior in Wisconsin's Chronic Wasting Disease Eradication Zone
Attempts to eradicate chronic wasting disease from free-ranging white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) in Wisconsin depend on gaining compliance of hunters to harvest deer at rates unprecedented in modern wildlife management. A mail questionnaire and hunter diaries were used to assess hunters' attitudes, effort, and harvest behavior in response to disease management strategies that have included an extended hunting season, removal of seasonal…
Focus groups as a human dimensions research tool
Through a discussion of our experiences with focus groups in Michigan, we illustrate the application of focus groups in human dimensions research. Focus groups aided in hypothesis generation and development of conceptual frameworks in a project on the deer crop depredation issue, and they provided insights for the design of questionnaires in research on black bear management and ecosystem management. Focus groups have proven to be a useful explor…
