Abstract
The role of owner-provided services in fee-based recreation access is evaluated for the case of waterfowl hunting. An hedonic framework is used to analyze and estimate the implicit price of some waterfowl hunting lease attributes. A mail survey of Louisiana waterfowl hunters provides primary data for estimation of the hedonic price model specified in semi-log functional form. The willingness-to-pay functions for increased acreage per hunting club member, increased lease time, and travel distance are also empirically estimated, providing information on the implicit demand for these lease characteristics.
