Journal of Wildlife Management, researchers report findings from a nationwide survey of college students’ interest and participation in hunting. They found current, active hunters were more likely to be white, male, and from rural areas, and to have family members who hunted. But they also found a group of potential hunters with no hunting experience but an interest in trying it who were more diverse in terms of gender, race, and ethnicity.
“There are a lot of potential hunters out there who look nothing like current hunters, suggesting there are many different pathways into hunting,” says study coauthor Lincoln Larson, associate professor of parks, recreation, and tourism management at North Carolina State University. “We are working to find messages and strategies that resonate with new and diverse groups.”
