Hunter Expenditure Data 



Resident hunters spent an average of $112.64 for transportation, 

 food, and miscellaneous purchases on their 4.49 day long trips 

 (Table 6). This translates to an expenditure of $25.08 per day. 

 Nonresidents and guided hunters paid substantially more per day 

 for their hunting trips because of the long distances which they 

 traveled, the added necessity for overnight lodging and guide 

 fees. Nonresidents spent $1006.12 per trip or $146.23 per day, 

 and guided hunters spent $1591.95 per trip or $242.67 per day. 

 Finally, hunters in the nonguided subgroup spent $217.47 per trip 

 or $45.21 per day.
