This created four categories for expenditure, as shown in Table 3-1. Table 3-1: Expenditure categorisation Off-trip expenditure On-trip expenditure Hunting Firearms, bows and other Ammunition specific firearm equipment Hunting tours/package tour expenditure Ammunition Other hunting equipment Licenses (game, firearm) (e.g. decoys, clothing) Hunting dog expenses (e.g. dog purchases, training, food, veterinary expenses, registrations etc.) Training to support your hunting activities (e.g. target practice) Hunting club memberships Hunting clothing General General hunting equipment Fuel expenditure (incl. knives, binoculars and Vehicle hire safety equipment) Vehicle repairs Vehicles (e.g. purchased to Long-distance transport (e.g. enable hunting) airline, train, coach fares) Vehicle Taxis equipment/accessories Accommodation Vehicle maintenance Takeaways & restaurant Boats meals Boat equipment/accessories Groceries etc. for Boat maintenance at your Camping equipment accommodation Photography equipment Drinks, alcohol (not already reported above) for consumption at your accommodation Respondents were asked separately about their off-trip and on-trip expenditure. For on-trip expenditure respondents were asked about expenditure on one trip they undertook in the last 12 months. For off-trip expenditure, respondents were asked about their entire off-trip expenditure for the last 12 months. Ideally, respondents would be asked about a shorter period to minimise recall bias. However, it is likely that off-trip expenditure has systematic seasonal fluctuations, increasing before and during the duck hunting season, for instance. For the general expenditure, it was necessary to enquire about the proportion of that expenditure that was used for hunting.
