Ebeling‐Schuld, Alena M., and Chris T. Darimont. "Online hunting forums identify achievement as prominent among multiple satisfactions." Wildlife Society Bulletin 41.3 (2017): 523-529.

This study analyzes online hunting forums to understand hunter satisfactions, finding that achievement is the dominant satisfaction in 81% of ungulate and 86% of carnivore stories, with appreciation and affiliation playing important secondary roles. The findings suggest that wildlife management policies should focus on achievement to effectively influence hunter behavior, particularly for carnivore species.
