Abstract: 

Within the last 10 years, a "movement" has arisen in the research literature (less so in agencies) to switch from the number of game bagged and number of days afield as measures of game management success to multiple satisfaction obtained from hunting (Brown et al. 1977, Gilbert 1977, Hendee 1972, 1974, More 1973, Potter et al. 1973). In light of the growing attention being directed to hunting satisfactions as a topic for study, it seems reasonable to identify those factors that either facilitate, have no effect upon, or dampen satisfactions received from hunting.
