report of the 2004 game take hunter survey

REPORT OF THE 2004 GAME TAKE HUNTER SURVEY

California Department of Fish and Game Wildlife Programs Branch

1812 Ninth Street Sacramento, CA 95814


Hunter game take questionnaires were mailed to 32,000 randomly selected hunting licensees on January 28, 2005. These individuals represented approximately 10.8 percent of the total number of licenses sold (295,737) in 2004. A follow-up mailing consisting of the entire hunter game take questionnaire was sent to nonrespondents on March 31, 2005. There were 35 questionnaires returned undeliverable, resulting in a total of 31,965 possible respondents. A total of 8,810 persons returned the questionnaire, representing approximately 3.0 percent of the total number of licenses sold. It was determined through survey data analysis that in 2004 there was a total hunting effort of approximately 251,192 hunters who spent and estimated 5,424,105 days in the field.

For the past several years, follow-up mailings to nonrespondents have significantly increased response to the questionnaires. In addition, a prize drawing was offered again this year in an effort to further increase questionnaire response. These increases in response rates reduce nonresponse bias, the phenomenon of more successful individuals (e.g., hunters) being more inclined to return a questionnaire than unsuccessful or nonparticipating individuals. Nonresponse bias is one of the principle causes of inflated bag and hunter-use figures in surveys of this type. Statistical analysis of survey data indicated high validity for species pursued by large number of hunters.

This survey has been a cooperative effort between the Wildlife Programs Branch and License

and Revenue Branch. For more information concerning this survey please contact Wildlife Biologist Patrick Lauridson (916-445-3701).

* The inflated value in the "Did Not Hunt" category may be due to using 1993, 1994, and 1995 license sales data. The three successive years of data were used because an inadequate number of 1995 sales data available on data base at the time of the survey.
