National Hunting and Fishing Survey, 1975 (ICPSR 7772)
Released/updated on: 1992-02-16
Geographic coverage: United States
Time period: 1974-01-01--1975-12-31
This dataset contains survey data from the second phase of a two-phase study of the use and enjoyment of hunting, fishing, and associated wildlife recreation resources in the United States in 1975. The data were taken from a mailback survey of 20,211 individuals in each of the United States. Survey recipients were 9 years of age and older and identified as hunters and/or fishermen. Approximately 450 variables measure the respondents' activities and expenditures in the areas of hunting and fishing, e.g., amount of time spent hunting and fishing, type of game and fish sought, problems associated with the activities, and money spent on various aspects of the activities. There are also several demographic variables, e.g., age, gender, income, and state of residence. The first phase of this study, which is captured in the dataset WILDLIFE RECREATION SURVEY, 1975 (ICPSR 7787), contains data from a telephone survey of United States residents which asked more general questions about wildlife recreation resource usage. From that survey, the sample of hunters and fishermen was identified for use in this study.

Released/updated on: 1992-02-16
Geographic coverage: United States
Time period: 1975-01-01--1975-12-31
This dataset contains survey data from the first phase of a two-phase study of the use and enjoyment of hunting, fishing, and associated wildlife recreation resources in the United States in 1975. Data were gathered about 322,908 individuals of all ages throughout the United States via telephone surveys conducted with heads of households (or if not possible, a knowledgeable household member over 18 years of age) who were asked questions about all members in the household. The study's 33 variables measure the amount of target shooting, plinking, firearm and bow hunting, fishing, photographing, crabbing, clamming, shell collecting, and wildlife observation each person engaged in during 1975. There are also several demographic variables, e.g., age, gender, state of residence, household size and income, and money spent on equipment for observing wildlife. The second phase of this survey, which is captured in the related dataset NATIONAL HUNTING AND FISHING SURVEY, 1975 (ICPSR 7772), contains data from a more detailed mail survey of a sample of hunters and fishermen drawn from the telephone sample in this study.
