“…There could also be an effect of the opportunity cost of travel time and transportation costs, which may be going up of late. Hussain, Munn, Hudson, and West (2010) found that hunters placed a significant value on lease locations that are close to their residences. Population density of the county, which was posited to control for a number of urbanization and market force related factors was also significant (p < .01) and had a negative effect on the total lease acres in the county.…”

“…We also complement the model with a game diversity index to test the hypothesis that hunters prefer game variety in a prospective hunting area. Results from Hussain et al (2010), Munn et al (2011) and Rhyne et al (2009) suggest that game diversity has a positive and significant influence on hunters' willingness to pay for hunting leases. Both landowners and hunters can be expected to prefer deer and moose over wild boars.…”

Hunting generates considerable benefits to hunters, while simultaneously causing damages to agriculture and forestry. The aim of this paper is to estimate hunting values for multiple hunted species, by disentangling the role of wildlife harvesting opportunities from other factors which affect hunting lease prices. We examine the determinants of hunting lease prices in Sweden using both spatial and non-spatial econometric techniques. Our analysis confirms considerable hunting values for large ungulates such as moose and fallow deer. Results also suggest that hunters prefer to have a diverse set of ungulate species on their hunting ground. Moreover, the study reveals the presence of spatial spillovers in lease prices, implying that landowners have little scope for exerting monopoly power on the lease market. It also indicate that proximity to urban centers, income, size of the hunting field, and congestion cost are key drivers of hunting lease prices.3

“…As demonstrated by existing econometric research devoted to natural resource management [3,13,24], we assume that landowner are utility maximizers. Hence, landowners would only show their interest in preparing management plan, if they maximize expected utility in doing so [25].…”

Despite the likely benefits of having a written forest management plan, a small number of landowners in the United States have the one. A recursive bivariate probit model was used to identify the possible relationship between landowners' decision to obtain a management plan and their interest in future timber harvesting. Our study results based on recursive bivariate model suggest that landowners having larger land ownerships, longer forest ownership tenure, and higher education were more likely to have a forest management plan and future timber harvesting interest. While the landowners having interest for wildlife management were also interested to have a written management plan, they did not prefer to harvest in future. Study results indicate that written management plan means more than a timber harvesting strategy to landowners in general. Many elderly landowners with a low level of income and less formal education and those having small or medium sized tracts of forestland are less likely to own a written management plan. Therefore, this group requires special attention in various government sponsored forest management related extension activities. Future research on understanding landowner perception behind written management plan is recommended.
