Abstract

Surveys in southeast Alaska in 1984 and 1985 were the basis for estimating net willingness to pay of hunters. Net willingness to pay was highest for resident deer hunters ($331) and lowest for nonresident moose hunters ($55). Relationship between willingness to pay and expenditures is discussed.
