This study was conducted for the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department (the Department) to determine the attitudes and motivations of lapsed hunters, including their satisfactions and dissatisfactions with hunting, their constraints and barriers to continued and increased hunting participation, and message themes and programs that will move lapsed hunters to resume hunting in New Hampshire. The study entailed a telephone survey of resident and non-resident lapsed hunters—those who had purchased a New Hampshire hunting license in the past 5 years but who did not actively hunt in New Hampshire in the 2002-2003 or 2003-2004 seasons.
