is the number of hunters down? or the percentage % of the population that hunts down?

I really can't imagine that there are less hunters today than 30 years ago etc..etc...since the population is growing....

But then again 100 years ago I saw that something like 75% of people were farmers .....certainly almost everyone in rural areas hunts it seems, so now with only something like 7% of the population being farmers....there are less people in rural areas, and therefore less hunters?

so whether there are or aren't I don't think of it as a shocking/alarming statistic.
