Description

A questionnaire was conducted to document the present hunting situation and hunters' attitude toward wildlife management, hunting regulations and the hunting environment in Saitama and Tochigi prefectures. One hundred ninety three respondents were from Saitama and 126 were from Tochigi. An average age in year was 55.0 in Saitama and 55.3 in Tochigi, and independent businessmen were the most numerous. Pheasant and duck were the most popular game species in both prefectures. Annual number of days spent hunting were 21.3 in Saitama and 24.7 in Tochigi, which was reported to have decreased recerntly due to low game populations. Disappearing hunting sites, diversifying recreation, and the anti-hunting movement were also reported to have contributed to this phenomenon. Most hunters regarded themselves as a naturalist and were interested in the idea of wildlife management.
