      abstract = {Agricultural land purchases by
non-local buyers for  hunting
purposes (106 sales) were
compared to  nearby
(comparable) land purchases of
local agricultural  producers
(318 sales) in the Southwest
and Prairie Pothole  Regions
(PPR) of North Dakota from
2000 to 2004. In the  PPR
(dominated by waterfowl
hunting), it was  demonstrated
that non-locals do not pay a
premium for  agricultural land
that they purchase for hunting
purposes.  In the Southwest
Region (dominated by pheasant
hunting), it  was found that nonlocals
pay between 23 and 24
percent more  for agricultural
land based on mean
differences, but that  if median
differences are evaluated, these
premiums range  from 19
(nearby sale comparisons) to -4
percent  (county-wide
comparisons). These
discrepancies in mean  and
median price premiums are
shown to result from  the
existence of several statistical
outlier sales. These  results imply
that recent surges in agricultural
land  prices across the entire
state of North Dakota cannot  be
attributed solely to non-local
hunting purchases. It was  also
noted that most non-local
purchasers of hunting land  do
restrict public hunting access
and that they also  usually lease
their land to local producers},
