THE LINK BETWEEN HUNTING GOALS AND STRATEGY AND HARVEST OUTCOME

This article explores relationships among hunting goals, hunting strat egies, and harvest success and attempts to assess if and how the relat ionships between harvest and nonharvest goals and harvest outcomes cha nge in the presence of selected intervening hunting strategy variables . Log-linear analysis examines the relationship among harvest outcome, hunting goals, and hunting strategies. Hunting strategies were found helpful in explaining the patterns of harvest outcome, suggesting that how a person hunts may be as important as why they hunt. Hunting stra tegy is seen as a viable concept for use in future investigations.
