Summary Stats
o n=489 ( 51% response rate)
o Average age 56 years with 40 years hunting experience
o 65% hunted KQDC in 2013: Past hunters (n=40), Recent hunters(n=180), Continuous hunters (n=95).
o Future participation mean=3.89 (n=488)
o Satisfaction with hunting experience mean=2.75 (n=464)

Implications and Conclusions
o Hunters are willing to hunt on the KQDC in the future which allows for continued engagement
Implications and Conclusions
o Hunters are willing to hunt on the KQDC in the future which allows for continued engagement
o Hunters perceive situational (KQDC) constraints which can inform habitat management in the future
Implications and Conclusions
o Hunters are willing to hunt on the KQDC in the future which allows for continued engagement
o Hunters perceive situational (KQDC) constraints which can inform habitat management in the future
o Future participation does differ based on harvest success
Implications and Conclusions
o Hunters are willing to hunt on the KQDC in the future which allows for continued engagement
o Hunters perceive situational (KQDC) constraints which can inform habitat management in the future
o Future participation does differ based on harvest success
o Hunters have a sense of place, and aren’t different from traditional hunters which means they are willing to hunt on the KQDC in the future
