Summary:

This dataset contains survey data from the second phase of a two-phase study of the use and enjoyment of hunting, fishing, and associated wildlife recreation resources in the United States in 1975. The data were taken from a mailback survey of 20,211 individuals in each of the United States. Survey recipients were 9 years of age and older and identified as hunters and/or fishermen. Approximately 450 variables measure the respondents' activities and expenditures in the areas of hunting and fishing, e.g., amount of time spent hunting and fishing, type of game and fish sought, problems associated with the activities, and money spent on various aspects of the activities. There are also several demographic variables, e.g., age, gender, income, and state of residence. The first phase of this study, which is captured in the dataset WILDLIFE RECREATION SURVEY, 1975 (ICPSR 7787), contains data from a telephone survey of United States residents which asked more general questions about wildlife recreation resource usage. From that survey, the sample of hunters and fishermen was identified for use in this study.... Cf.: http://dx.doi.org/10.3886/ICPSR07772
