Interviews with 20 conservation agents of the Virginia Commission of Game and Inland Fisheries provided information on 70 cases of deer spot-lighting violations in 1969 and 1970. An additional survey produced information on 41 deer spotlighting cases in in 1971, The number of spotlighting violations was observed to increase during the month of October, peak in November, and decrease in January, The average time of arrest for spotlighting was 11:37 p,m,, and the largest percentage of arrests were made on Saturday evenings. The various aspects of the violation were described including such factors as the weather; characteristics of the violator; weapon, spotlight and vehicle used; violation site; and apprehension site. Estimation of the extent of spotlighting in Virginia was made. Using two methods 6000 and 9000 violations per year were obtained, There were no significant correlations between legal deer kill or miles of road with the number of spotlighting arrests. Correspondence with several other states indicated violator and violation characteristics were similar to those found in Virginia. The sociological and criminological aspects of the violation were discussed, and a typology of the spotlighting violator was developed based on the assumption that the spotlighting violation occurred as the result of a decision made by the violator. / Master of Science

This study documents the most salient factors associated with the decline in hunting participation in Indiana. Data for the study were obtained from interviews and a survey of Indiana residents conducted in 2008. Respondents were classified as current hunters, former hunters, nonhunters, or anti-hunters. The most salient reasons respondents cited for the decline in hunting participation in Indiana were: less access to private land, lack of time, urbanization, and changing values among the younger generation. The major reasons that former hunters discontinued participation were lack of time, loss of interest, cost of licenses and equipment, and lack of available hunting partners. For nonhunters, the major reasons for non-participation were that they were not brought up into hunting, had other leisure activities during the hunting season, and were not willing to kill animals. The major reasons anti-hunters did not participate were that they had ethical problems with hunting, were not willing to kill animals, were not brought up into hunting, and don’t eat meat. The results of this study found that declining participation in hunting is the result of changing socio-economic factors in American society and not of any adverse ecological factors in America’s natural environment. Based on the results and comments from respondents, wildlife management agencies would gain the most from efforts to retain hunters, as opposed to try to recruit new hunters from the ranks of people who have no interest in it or are former hunters. / Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Management

in English This diploma thesis concerns legal regulation of hunting associations and their activities in the Czech Republic. The thesis is divided into four parts, which may be further divided into individual chapters and subchapters. The first part of the diploma thesis outlines the development of hunting, development of hunting associations and their legal regulation. The following part of the diploma thesis, which is at the same time its building stone, analyses the individual aspects of the legal regulation of the hunting associations and their activities, namely the general legal regulation, represented primarily by the Civil Code, and a special one represented especially by the Hunting Act. The third part of the diploma thesis gives a look at some concrete controversial cases, which the author encountered in practice. The last part of the diploma thesis brings several proposals de lege ferenda. The aim of the diploma thesis is to analyse in detail the current legal regulation of the hunting associations and their activities, and to answer the question of which rules governing the hunting associations and hunting activities on the territory of the Czech Republic apply.
