在美国，长期的人均狩猎参与率正在下降，尽管趋势因地区和狩猎活动类型而异。许多研究已经确定了影响个人参与狩猎可能性的各种因素，但相对较少的研究在更大范围内影响参与的因素。与城市化相关的景观和文化变化，加上娱乐技术的干扰，被认为是在广泛的社会文化层面上对狩猎参与产生负面影响的因素。通过研究与俄亥俄州狩猎许可证和鹿许可证销售在县级（2007年）的因素，我们发现，获得可狩猎的土地，农林矩阵的特点，娱乐技术的扩散，农村，种族/民族人口与参与率。虽然城市外迁推动了土地分割和土地使用的变化，但一些地区的技术基础设施尚未饱和（例如，俄亥俄州东南部）或具有独特的人口统计（例如，阿米什人），这可能会阻止未来狩猎参与率的下降。
Long-term per-capita participation in hunting is declining in the United States, although trends vary by region and type of hunting activity. Numerous studies have identified diverse factors affecting individuals’ likelihood of participating in hunting, but relatively few have examined factors influencing involvement at a broader scale. Landscape and cultural changes associated with urbanization coupled with the distractions of entertainment technologies have been implicated as factors negatively influencing hunting participation at the broad, sociocultural scale. By examining factors related to Ohio hunting license and deer permit sales at the county-level (2007), we found that access to huntable lands, agriculture–forest matrix characteristics, proliferation of entertainment technologies, rurality, and racial/ethnic demographics were associated with participation rates. Although exurbanization drives parcelization and land use change, some regions are not yet saturated with technological infrastructure (e.g., southeastern Ohio) or have unique population demographics (e.g., Amish) that are likely to deter future declines in hunting participation.
