Analysis of Different Types of Hunters 



In addition to the preceding analysis, hunters were "clustered" 

 according to their motivations for hunting and then analyzed as 

 different hunter types. Four basic "types" of deer hunters were 

 identified: specialist meat hunters, specialist trophy hunters, 

 general hunting enthusiasts and generalist meat hunters. A 

 detailed description of these different hunter groups can be 

 found in Chapter 7. 



The different hunter groups showed significantly different net 

 economic values for their most recent deer hunting trip. Values 

 were $298 for the general hunting enthusiast, $182 for specialist 

 meat hunters, $471 for trophy hunters and $315 for the generalist 

 meat hunters.
