closely related to the trip-weighted average distance of hunting 

 trips to a given site. The effect of poor trip prediction is that 

 trip-weighted average distance may be incorrect. For Equation 2, 

 a specific problem is that trips from far distances tend to be 

 overpredicted; this has the effect of overstating average 

 distance and site value. 



Table 5 is a summary of the per trip and per day values, 

 using both the standard and reported costs. In addition, the 

 value of a Forest Service wildlife-fish user day (WFUD) is shown.
