Abstract

In response to a declining moose population in Ontario, a selective harvest system has been introduced in the province. This paper examines the perceptions of hunters to this new management strategy as measured in studies conducted in 1985 and 1986. Hunter attitudes to the selective harvest system were found to be somewhat polarized. A number of variables were examined to explain this variation in attitude. Hunter knowledge was found to be significantly related to hunter attitude towards the selective harvest system (r = 0.52, and r = 0.51 for the two samples tested). Overall the results were quite similar between the 1985 and the 1986 study.
