Studies of attitudes toward hunting evolved from early philosophical treatises (Clark 1985, Ortega y Gasset 1972, Klein 1973) to data-based research during the 1970’s (Applegate 1973, Shaw 1977, Kellert 1978, Rohlfing 1978, Shaw et al. 1987). In general, the latter studies showed that the general public approved of hunting, but demographic variable that were correlated with hunting opposition suggested that the prevalence of such approval would decline in the future (Applegate 1973, Shaw 1975). Attitude towards hunting has been correlated with various measures of urban influence in an individual’s background as well as the individual’s exposure to hunting. In New Jersey, 91% of the population lived in Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas in 1980, and hunting license sales declined 30% between 1971 and 1981. It is therefore logical to have expected an increase in opposition to hunting in New Jersey over the past decade.
