This most recent survey for the Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Alliance on hunter attitudes toward National Forests is outstanding work and will undoubtedly prove to be extremely valuable in our efforts to promote sound stewardship of the National Forest System.

A group of us met with a NY State Assemblyman yesterday. . .We were talking about a piece of legislation that he wanted [giving] out free sportsmen licenses to a particular group, and we told him we opposed it as it would affect money being received from the PR Fund. He didn’t know about Pittman Robertson, Johnson Dingle. I had a copy of The Sportsman’s Voice with me. I got it out. We looked up Pittman Robinson, and I showed him the various tables of data in your book. He immediately gave the book to one of his aids and asked her to get the information so that he could buy a copy.

The book helped to foster a relationship, and we are looking forward to working closer with this legislator.

We looked over the Kansas Threatened and Endangered Species Survey report and could not find anything else we needed or that needed further clarification. It was thorough, timely, and well-done…We had feared that with the poor economy that support for this program had eroded over the last 20 years but that is apparently not the case. If legislators target our regulatory program for deregulation, we can certainly give them pause with this report.

We are certainly appreciative of the professionalism and expediency of Responsive Management.

I have really enjoyed working with you and your staff. Your assistance, assurances, and flexibility when the sample size increased just prior to initiating the survey was very much appreciated. I look forward to hopefully having additional projects with you in the future.

I also wanted to extend my thanks—albeit belated—for a great job with a task that at times might have seemed amorphous. The process worked and wouldn’t have without your talent, experience, and expertise.

I am writing on behalf of USDA, APHIS, Wildlife Services National Rabies Management Program (NRMP) to express my appreciation for the exceptional job Michael Fraidenburg and Responsive Management did in helping us to organize and facilitate a modified Delphi decision-making process involving a panel of 15 experts from the U.S. and Canada. Like the company name, Mike was responsive to our changing needs in real time and was able to help us meet our objectives of reaching consensus on key wildlife rabies ecology and management questions critical to ongoing economic modeling research. I was impressed by both the professionalism and enthusiasm Mike brought to the various stages of the process including the planning, implementation and final summary report writing. Responsive Management provided consulting services in our requested time frame and made sure we got what we needed when we needed it. Simply put, our experience working with Mike and Responsive Management was excellent and far exceeded our expectations. Thank you!

The Sportsman’s Voice is the definitive source of information regarding public attitudes toward and the economic contribution of hunting and fishing in the United States. It further defines the role that sportsmen play in fish and wildlife conservation. Responsive Management has compiled a comprehensive treatise of information regarding hunting and angling participation, federal wildlife laws, agency and organization programs, and the major funding sources that drive conservation. The book should be required reading for aspiring fish and wildlife biologists and managers, as well as anyone truly concerned about the future of fish and wildlife conservation in our nation.
