Abstract: 

To assess the perceptions of state wildlife administrators regarding trends in hunter access to private lands across the United States, chief executives of state wildlife agencies were sent a mail questionnaire in 1997. The questionnaire inquired about their perceptions regarding the severity of access problems and the effects of specific incentives and disincentives on rural landowners' decisions to allow, restrict, or deny access to their lands. This study replicated a study conducted by the authors in 1984 and suggests trends in access to private lands over a 13-year period (1984–1997). Fifty states participated in each study.
