Article Synopsis
- In the U.S., there is widespread disapproval of trophy hunting, despite its potential benefits for conservation and its role in wildlife management through American hunter-tourists.
- An online survey with 2000 U.S. residents examined attitudes and the effectiveness of different messaging strategies about trophy hunting, revealing that negative perceptions are strong and difficult to change.
- Although messages highlighting ecological or socioeconomic benefits slightly increased approval of trophy hunting, identity-focused messaging did not have a significant impact on attitudes, emphasizing the need for better communication strategies.

In this paper, we conduct a cost-benefit analysis (CBA) of five alternative management strategies for red deer in Denmark: free harvest, trophy hunting, maximum harvest and two cases for natural demographic population compositions. To capture the outcome under each strategy we use a biological sex- and age-structured population model. The net benefit function includes meat values, recreational values, browsing damage costs and traffic damage costs and these values and costs are assumed to differ for the various sex and age classes of red deer.

Common eland bulls are important game ranching animals in southern Africa, for tourism, breeding/live sales, trophy hunting, and game meat production. Interest has grown in their production potential, intensifying animal husbandry and breeding approaches. However, little scientific information is available regarding the intensive management of this species, including information regarding scientifically based selection criteria for breeding bulls.

Fierce international debates rage over whether trophy hunting is socially acceptable, especially when people from the Global North hunt well-known animals in sub-Saharan Africa. We used an online vignette experiment to investigate public perceptions of the acceptability of trophy hunting in sub-Saharan Africa among people who live in urban areas of the USA, UK and South Africa. Acceptability depended on specific attributes of different hunts as well as participants' characteristics.
