between resident and nonresident hunter's trips lies in the miles 

 driven, number of years hunting mountain lions and the number of 

 trips to the hunting area. While the average (mean) number of 

 trips by residents and nonresidents is 13 and 3 trips 

 respectively, the median number of trips is only 6 and 1. It is 

 obvious that some of the sample took multiple trips to the 

 huntina area. 



Mountain Lion Hunter Motivation and 

 Management Preferences : 



It is important to wildlife managers to understand the reasons a 

 person chooses to mountain lion hunt and the reasons they chose 

 the area they did to hunt . Understanding how hunters feel about 

 mountain lion management is also of interest to managers. A 

 number of questions were asked in the Montana Mountain Lion 

 Hunter Survey to provide insight into these areas.
