First, does the type of violation (i.e., no hunter orange, trespassing, baiting, and hunting from a public road) committed affect violator attitudes? Second, does motivation for committing the violation influence violator attitudes? This study examined these questions by investigating violator attitudes toward Conservation Officers. I collected information from a sample of licensed violators in 2002 and 2003 using self-administered mail questionnaires. Most (90%) of the violators studied had been cited while hunting white-tailed deer. I did not detect any differences in attitudes toward Conservation Officers among the four violation types investigated. Reasons for violating also did not influence attitudes toward Conservation Officers. Thus, I conclude that Mississippi wildlife law violators can be treated as a homogenous group when looking at attitudes toward Conservation Officers.
