“…Hunting for recreational and fun receive low acceptance by hunters and non-hunters worldwide (Heberlein and Willebrand 1998;Radder 2005). The ethics of hunting have kept recurring for a long time (e.g., Leopold 1981;Ortega y Gasset 1985;Nelson et al 2005), and there are many formal and informal rules of conduct to reduce the suffering of the animal. A concern that hunter tourists will not adhere to these rules and represent hunters that hunt for recreation and fun is likely one of the most important factors for the uncertainty towards hunting tourism.…”

This article examines elements of the social sustainability of hunting tourism development by scrutinising Finnish hunters' opinions on three possible scenarios related to hunting tourism: the threat of an exclusion of local hunters, the threat of rising rents of hunting land and the threat to Finnish hunting customs and practice due to increasing numbers of foreign hunting tourists. Hunters' positions on these three issues are mapped and the determinants of their attitudes are analysed using unique national survey data on Finnish hunters and their attitudes (N = 1193). The results show a clear ambivalence to hunting tourism among hunters. While a majority of hunters tend to view hunting tourism as a threat, a large minority relate to it more positively. These attitudinal patterns can be explained only partly by socioeconomic factors, whereas factors pertaining to hunting experience and hunting profile play a somewhat more prominent role in understanding the legitimacy that hunting tourism enjoys in the eyes of hunters in Finland. Age, rural residence and participation in wildlife management are also found important for some issues. The ambiguities revealed could pose major problems for social sustainability and hunting tourism management and development.

“…Mourning dove hunters in Alabama, for example, were motivated by companionship, nature, exercise, challenge, tradition, escape, and learning (Hayslette, Armstrong, & Mirarchi, 2001). Trophy hunters' motivations include spiritual, emotional, intellectual, self-directed, biological, and social needs (Radder, 2005). According to the official definition, the main motive for biltong hunting is meat (Report to the Minister of Environmental Affairs and Tourism, 2005).…”

This article examines the values and motivations of South African biltong hunters. A hierarchical value map of associations between attributes, consequences and values resulted from laddering interviews with 34 hunters. The Means-End Chain approach proved useful in identifying: (a) personal values, (b) wildlife value orientations, and (c) motivations associated with desired benefits and satisfactions. Values reflected socialization, achievement, stimulation, hedonism, universalism, and conformity. Materialism, attraction/interest, respect, environmentalism, and rational/scientific were the predominant wildlife value orientations. Motivations included male identity, escape, appreciation of nature, and bonding with family and friends. The study refuted perceptions that biltong hunters primarily hunt for the meat or for the sake of killing an animal.
