Abstract: 

The harvest of antlerless deer through recreational hunting is wildlife managers' primary tool for regulating deer populations. Deer managers strive to develop regulations that will both: (1) encourage antlerless deer harvest; and (2) maintain or enhance the experience of deer hunters. Knowing how hunters will respond to regulations before they are enacted can enable agencies to develop better regulations. In this study, we explored how New York State deer hunters reacted to proposed regulatory changes.
