Tasmanian Recreational Hunting and Sport Shooting Study 2023
As an outcome from the Australian Deer Association's ongoing advocact efforts, the Tasmanian government has launched a survey to better understand the experiences of recreational hunters and sport shooters in Tasmania and the economic contribution that hunting and sport shooting brings to the community.
The survey will be open between February and March 2023 and is being conducted by Action Market Research, in partnership with BDO EconSearch.
The information collected will be used for research purposes only. Your personal details will not be disclosed unless you give your permission, and will be held as strictly confidential, according to the Code of Professional Behaviour set out by the Research Society and the Privacy Act.
At the completion of the survey, BDO Econsearch will finalise a report summarising the key findings (note this will include summarised data only; no personal information) and provide it to the Tasmanian Government for consideration. The Tasmanian Government has committed that this study will help inform future policy and management decisions with regards to hunting and sporting shooting.
