2022 Hunter Satisfaction Project Report

Executive Summary

• Hunters were most likely to respond that their respective hunting activity was one of several important hunting activities.
• Most hunters across all hunting activities responded that they participated in deer hunting and upland game hunting every year.
• Only Spring and Fall turkey hunters were likely to hunt turkeys every year.
• Overall, Spring and Fall turkey hunters have hunted turkeys for a fewer number of years than hunters of other activity types have hunted their respective game species.
• Hunters across all activity types were likely to be at least somewhat satisfied with their hunting season. Waterfowl hunters were notably more likely to be somewhat satisfied than very satisfied. Upland-game hunters were the most evenly distributed across all levels of satisfaction.
• The implicit importance of seeing deer and harvesting deer were greater than expected for hunters compared to explicit responses to attribute importance.
• The implicit importance of seeing waterfowl, harvesting waterfowl, having waterfowl come into decoys, and hunting on public land were greater than expected for waterfowl hunters compared to explicit responses to attribute importance.
• The implicit importance of seeing game birds and opportunities to harverst game birds were greater than expected for upland-game hunters compared to explicit responses to attribute importance.
• The implicit importance of seeing turkeys, having opportunities to harvest, and hearing gobbling were greater than expected for Spring turkey hunters compared to explicit responses to attribute importance.
• The implicit importance of seeing turkeys and having opportunities to harvest turkeys were greater than expected for Fall turkey hunters compared to explicit responses to attribute importance.
• Attributes important to deer hunter satisfaction included seeing deer (basic), harvesting deer (perforamnce), and arvesting a trophy deer (basic).
• Attributes important to waterfowl hunter satisfaction included seeing waterfowl (basic) and hunting public land (basic).
• Important attributes for upland-game hunter satisfaction included opportunities for harvest (performance) harvesring the daily bag limit (perforamance), not seeing other hunters (unimportant), and hunting on private land (perforamance).
• Important attributes to Spring turkey hunter satisfaction included seeing turkeys (basic), opportunities to shoot turkeys (performance), harvesting a jake (excitement), harvesting a trophy turkey (basic), and hearing gobbling (basic).
• Attributes important to Fall turkey hunter satisfaction included seeing turkeys (basic) and opportunities to harvest (basic).
• Most hunters do most of their hunting on private land. Notably, upland-game hunting is more likely to occur on public land than other hunting activities.
• Most haunters have zero children under the age of 16 residing in their household.
• Most hunters have never participated in a Nebraska Youth Pheasant Hunt, but those that have were most likely to have participated as a mentor.

General Information

This report describes responses to questions from the “2022 Hunter Satisfaction” survey. The “2022 Hunter Satisfaction” survey was a tool to analyze Nebraska hunters’ perspectives on the attributes that are important to their hunting season, how hunters feel these attributes performed when afield, and how importance and performance of attributes affect their overall satisfaction. We provide information regarding the design and implementation of the survey as well as summarized responses to questions relating to demographics, participation in various hunting activities, questions pertaining to importance and performance of hunt-specific attributes, and overall satisfaction with hunting experiences. We also include statistical tests to assess differences in the between residents and non-residents, hunters who reside in a rural or urban area, and hunters who grew up in a rural or urban area. General summaries of responses, Importance grid analyses (IGA) and Penalty-Reward-Contrast analyses (PRCA) are depicted for hunters who engaged in the following hunting activities: deer, waterfowl, upland game, Spring turkey, and Fall turkey.

Nebraska Hunter Satisfaction Project Objectives

1. Gather information about current Nebraska hunters and better understand hunting behavior
2. Measure the importance and performance of hunt-specific attributes and satisfaction with hunting experiences
3. Assess longitudinal changes in importance of hunt-specific attributes

Mode Selection

The stakeholders involved had several meetings to design the survey instrument that would properly meet the objectives. A web survey was used to determine the views of Nebraska hunters. Using this vehicle to collect information allows researchers to generalize results to a larger population. Email invitations were sent to a sample of hunters who purchased a hunting license, turkey permit, deer permit, Nebraska waterfowl stamp, or any combination in the 2021-2022 hunting year. Invitations were distributed on July 18, 2022. Reminder emails were sent to non-respondents on July 20, 24, 26, and 31, 2022. A final reminder was sent on the final day of the survey period, August 08, 2022.

Design and Item Selection

The design and fielding of the survey was accomplished by the Human Dimensions Lab in the University of Nebraska-Lincoln School of Natural Resources and the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission. A separate questionnaire was distributed for each type of hunting activity. Each questionnaire consisted of items pertaining to attributes affiliated with the respective type of hunting activity. For the small game questionnaire, hunters were specifically asked whether they participated in upland-game hunting (pheasant, quail, and grouse). Questionnaires included attributes that addressed the importance and actualization of experiences related to the respective type of hunting activity. All hunting activities included the following attributes: seeing the respective game type, opportunities to shoot the respective game type, harvesting the respective game type, hunting in favorable weather conditions, not seeing other hunters, no interference from other hunters, access to private land, access to public land, and hunting with other people.

Additional activity-specific attributes were included for each type of hunting experience based on existing literature on deer (Hautaluoma and Brown 1978, Hammitt et al. 1990, Gigliotti 2000, Manfredo et al. 2004, Kerr 2017, Pang 2017), waterfowl (Vaske et al. 1986, Brunke and Hunt 2007), upland-game (Hayslette et al. 2001, Frey et al. 2003), and turkey (Hazel et al. 1990, Wynveen et al. 2005, Schroeder et al. 2018) hunters. Attribute importance was measured on a five-point scale of 1 (not at all important) to 5 (extremely important). Respondents were also asked to rate how well each experienced attribute met expectations, ranging from 1 (far below expectations) to 5 (far exceeded expectations). Overall satisfaction with their hunting experience was also measured on a 5-point scale of 1 (very dissatisfied) to 5 (very satisfied).

Analyses

Assessing effects of importance and performance on satisfaction involves two types of analyses. Importance Grid Analysis compares explicit rating to implicit importance ratings derived by multiple regression of overall satisfaction on attribute performance ratings (Matzler and Sauerwein 2002, Matzler et al. 2003). Originally employed by Vavra (1997), IGA was used to describe attributes as either excitement, performance, or basic typologies. However, the value of IGA for classifying attributes has since been discounted, and IGA is currently recognized for the ability to distinguish between explicit and implicit importance of attributes (Smith and Deppa 2009, Mikulić and Prebežac 2011). Explicit importance reflects a rational assessment of how one expects an attribute to affect satisfaction, while implicit importance reflects the experiential-based impact of an attribute on satisfaction. IGA delineates differences between hunters’ “expectations of an attributes’ relevancy to a desired end” (i.e., explicit importance) compared to “experiential information gained from one’s real-time encounter” (i.e., implicit importance) (Smith and Deppa 2009, Schroeder et al. 2018).

Explicit importance is calculated by taking the mean rating of each attribute importance as measured from the questionnaire. Implicit importance is derived from multiple linear regression coefficients (performance values of each attribute as the independent variables and overall satisfaction as the dependent variable). Explicit means and implicit coefficients are then plotted, and attributes above the fit line have higher than expected levels of implicit performance. Attributes below the line are experiences that have a lower than expected effect on satisfaction.

Penalty-Reward-Contrast Analysis is described as the three-factor theory in that it identifies the following three factors to customer satisfaction: basic factors, performance factors, and excitement factors (Deng 2007, Deng et al. 2008, Kim et al. 2014). Basic factors will induce dissatisfaction if expectations with a given attribute are not met, but will not increase satisfaction if expectations are met or exceeded. Basic factors can be viewed as the minimum requirements for a product or experience. Performance factors will increase satisfaction if expectations are fulfilled or exceeded and dissatisfaction if expectations are not fulfilled. Excitement factors will increase satisfaction if delivered but do not cause dissatisfaction if they are missing. For example, the three-factory theory can be applied in the airline service industry. Safety can be viewed as a basic factor insofar as passengers expect to be safe during the flight. If safety expectations are met, then safety attributes will not induce customer dissatisfaction; nor will customers become more satisfied with their experience based on safety attributes alone. However, if passengers feel unsafe, lack of safety will induce dissatisfaction. Expediency in retrieving baggage after the flight might be viewed as a performance factor. If passengers must wait longer than expected to retrieve their baggage, they will become dissatisfied, but if they can claim their baggage more quickly than expected, passengers will be more satisfied with their experience. Quality or price of snacks and beverages during the flight may be viewed as an excitement factor. If the quality of snacks is excellent, passengers will be more satisfied, but lack of quality will not induce dissatisfaction.

Conducting the PRCA incorporates a 3-step process, which examines influence on overall satisfaction at high and low-performance levels. In step 1, a simple linear regression is performed, and significant factors (performance ratings; 1 to 5) are recoded into Penalty and Reward dummy variables. If a respondent answered that, the performance of an attribute was a “1,” their Penalty value would be a “1” and their Reward value would be a “0.” A rating of a “5” for a performance attribute would result in a Penalty value of “0” and a Reward value of “1.” A performance of rating of “2,” “3,” or “4” would result in a “0” for both Penalty and Reward values. Step 2 consists of a multiple regression with the dummy variables used, independent variables and overall satisfaction with the hunting experience as the dependent variable. The third step is classification of attributes (basic, performance, excitement, or unimportant). An attribute is considered basic if the Penalty variable is significant and the reward variable is not significant, performance if both Penalty and Reward variables are significant, and excitement if the only the Reward variable is significant. Attribute is considered unimportant if neither Penalty nor Reward variables are significant.

Survey population

Questionnaires were sent to 3,019 deer hunters, 3,846 waterfowl hunters, 2,784 upland-game hunters, 2,867 Spring turkey hunters, and 2,567 Fall turkey hunters. A total of approximately 15083 questionnaires were distributed. Adjusted response rates for the individual survey questionnaires was 28%, 19%, 24%, 34%, and 22%, respectively. The overall adjusted response rate to the survey project was 25%.

Importance Grid Analyses (IGA)

Importance Grid Analysis (IGA) compares explicit rating to implicit importance ratings derived by multiple regression of overall satisfaction on attribute performance ratings (Matzler and Sauerwein 2002, Matzler et al. 2003). Originally employed by Vavra (1997), IGA was used to describe attributes as either excitement, performance, or basic typologies. However, the value of IGA for classifying attributes has since been discounted, and IGA is currently recognized for the ability to distinguish between explicit and implicit importance of attributes (Smith and Deppa 2009, Mikulić and Prebežac 2011). Explicit importance reflects a rational assessment of how one expects an attribute to impact satisfaction, while implicit importance reflects the experiential-based impact of an attribute on satisfaction. IGA delineates differences between hunters’ “expectations of an attributes’ relevancy to a desired end” (i.e., explicit importance) compared to “experiential information gained from one’s real-time encounter” (i.e., implicit importance) (Smith and Deppa 2009, Schroeder et al. 2018).

Explicit importance is calculated by taking the mean rating of each attribute importance as measured from the questionnaire. Implicit importance is derived from multiple linear regression coefficients (performance values of each attribute as the independent variables and overall satisfaction as the dependent variable). Explicit means and implicit coefficients are then plotted, and attributes above the fit line have higher than expected levels of implicit performance. Attributes below the line are experiences that have a lower than expected effect on satisfaction.

Penalty-Reward-Contrast Analyses (PRCA)

Penalty-Reward-Contrast Analysis (PRCA) is described as the three-factor theory in that it identifies the following three factors to customer satisfaction: basic factors, performance factors, and excitement factors (Deng 2007, Deng et al. 2008, Kim et al. 2014). Basic factors will induce dissatisfaction if expectations with a given attribute are not met, but will not increase satisfaction if expectations are met or exceeded. Basic factors can be viewed as the minimum requirements for a product or experience. Performance factors will increase satisfaction if expectations are fulfilled or exceeded and dissatisfaction if expectations are not fulfilled. Excitement factors will increase satisfaction if delivered but do not cause dissatisfaction if they are missing. For example, the three-factory theory can be applied in the airline service industry. Safety can be viewed as a basic factor insofar as passengers expect to be safe during the flight. If safety expectations are met, then safety attributes will not induce customer dissatisfaction; nor will customers become more satisfied with their experience based on safety attributes alone. However, if passengers feel unsafe, lack of safety will induce dissatisfaction. Expediency in retrieving baggage after the flight might be viewed as a performance factor. If passengers must wait longer than expected to retrieve their baggage, they will become dissatisfied, but if they can claim their baggage more quickly than expected, passengers will be more satisfied with their experience. Quality or price of snacks and beverages during the flight may be viewed as an excitement factor. If the quality of snacks is excellent, passengers will be more satisfied, but lack of quality will not induce dissatisfaction.

Conducting the PRCA incorporates a 3-step process which examines influence on overall satisfaction at high and low-performance levels. In step 1, a simple linear regression is performed, and significant factors (performance ratings (1 to 5)) are recoded into Penalty and Reward dummy variables. If a respondent answered that the performance of an attribute was a “1,” their Penalty value would be a “1” and their Reward value would be a “0.” A rating of a “5” for a performance attribute would result in a Penalty value of “0” and a Reward value of “1.” A performance of rating of “2,” “3,” or “4” would result in a “0” for both Penalty and Reward values. Step 2 consists of a multiple regression with the dummy variables used, independent variables and overall satisfaction with the hunting experience as the dependent variable. The 3rd step is classification of attributes (basic, performance, excitement, or unimportant). An attribute is considered basic if the Penalty variable is significant and the reward variable is not significant, performance if both Penalty and Reward variables are significant, and excitement if the only the Reward variable is significant. Attribute is considered unimportant if neither Penalty nor Reward variables are significant.
