Description

This document presented the results of the Alberta component of the North American Duck Hunter Survey, conducted in the mid-1990s to examine the characteristics, attitudes, and preferences of duck hunters in Alberta. It described the survey purpose, design, and methods, and analysed hunter participation patterns, personal profiles, and motivations for duck hunting. It examined hunter responses to bag limits, season length, duck abundance information, and the complexity of hunting regulations, and compared Alberta results with those from the Atlantic, Mississippi, Central, and Pacific flyways in the United States. It discussed management implications for waterfowl regulation, hunter retention, and recruitment, particularly with respect to ageing hunter demographics and low youth participation. It included detailed appendices containing the survey instrument and summarized statistical data.
