Research into quality hunting experiences has, with few exceptions, employed quantitative assessment techniques. This study examines Idaho elk hunters’ own narrations, using a qualitative analysis procedure novel in the hunting literature, to describe the key characteristics of Idaho hunters’ quality rifle elk hunting experiences. Discernible patterns that emerged from the analysis resulted in 32 quality categories, supporting the contention that quality hunting experiences are made up of multiple factors. However, fewer salient factors per hunter were found. Although caution is advised against using frequencies for qualitative data as an indication of importance, the statistical sampling techniques used suggest that some confidence can be attributed to the relative degree of importance of the top ranked quality categories. They were, in order of frequency: seeing elk or elk sign, being in a natural setting, seeing few other hunters, seeing an abundance of elk, and harvesting an elk
