Abstract

Privately owned lands offer substantial land area that have the potential to contribute greatly to wildlife conservation. However, it is dubious for private landowners to engage in such programs that have not readily accepted their input. Given the future directions of wildlife conservation and needing to heavily integrate private lands into habitat objectives to meet wildlife population standards, it will be of growing importance to consider the needs and wants of private landowners to meet production goals and simultaneously wildlife habitat goals (and not the other way around). We recognize the important methodological research that has built foundations for current and future research practices; however, few practical offerings exist on how to effectively elicit qualitative data from private landowners. In this article, we propose ten tips as a starting point for those seeking to engage in qualitative interviews in rural communities as a way to increase efficiency in others’ future studies. Our hope is that these ten tips help others in their own quest for qualitative data to help bridge the gap between livestock and range production, and wildlife management and conservation. In doing so, together we can continue to build effective knowledge to address future conservation programming that synergizes livestock production in conjunction with wildlife habitat.
