This paper explores how the human dimensions of wildlife management(hunter density, contact with others, perceived crowding) are related to the biological dimensions of deer management (deer population, seeing, shooting, bagging) to produce satisfying and high quality hunts. In a series of hunter density experiments at the Sandhill Wildlife Demonstration Area in Wisconsin, this study compared these relationships between hunters who held either antlerless-only (doe) or trophy buck permits. A 1980 study of doe hunters at Sandhill showed that higher hunter density had a positive effect on hunter satisfaction. However, a 1982 study of trophy buck hunters could not replicate this finding. To sort out these relationships, this study analyzed results from 11 years of hunter density experiments at Sandhill. The results showed that effect of density can shift from a positive to a negative depending on the season framework. For doe hunters, higher hunter densities improved the odds of success, and increased satisfaction ratings and quality ratings. More hunters increased crowding, which decreased satisfaction. But higher hunter density was also associated with seeing more deer, shooting more, and bagging deer. Among trophy buck hunters, hunter density had no effect on seeing, shooting, and bagging a deer. Seeing, shooting, and bagging were only associated with deer density. For trophy buck hunters, increased hunter density reduced satisfaction and quality ratings. These negative evaluations were not offset by seeing more deer, shooting more, or bagging a deer.
