(South Carolina State Library, 2023) South Carolina Department of Natural Resources; South Carolina Deer Research and Management Project; Ruth, Charles; Cantrell, Jay
The 2023 Deer Hunter Survey represents a random mail survey that involved a single mail-out. The questionnaire for the 2023 Deer Hunter Survey was developed by Wildlife Section personnel (Figure 1). The mailing list database was constructed by randomly selecting 35,000 known Big Game Permit holders that included 8 license types. The license types included: (1) Resident Sportsman’s, (2) 3-year Resident Sportsman’s, (3) Resident Combination, (4) 3-year Resident Combination, (5) Resident Junior Sportsman’s, (6) Resident Big Game Permit, (7) 3-year Resident Big Game Permit, and (8) Nonresident Big Game Permit. The number of individuals associated with each license type was based on an attempted sampling rate of approximately 15 percent for licenses purchased through December of 2023. Since deer seasons statewide end on January 1 there was no need to sample individuals that were licensed thereafter.
