Abstract

The economic value of wildlife is partly reflected in the Texas hunt lease and rural land markets. The results of an extensive survey of Texas hunters, and a land valuation model are utilized to develop estimates of the value of wildlife in Texas. Although the value of wildlife cannot be pre­cisely calculated, these estimates clearly indicate that wildlife is an enor­mously valuable natural resource.
