Allot of Facts based on what? Reports?
as we all know hunters tale bigger tails than fishermen do. Oh i almost forgot most hunters are fisherman too.
The facts of what we spend and and what we do can only be estimated.

How and what it is spent from shooting sports to big game hunting is undetermined only estimated.

Thanks for theinfo, has a lot of breakdowns. Surprise, not many deer hunters in the Pacific West.

Daleh, the survey didn't just talk about how much hunters spent, that was only a small part of it. Anyway, all surveys have to be taken with a grain of salt.

Check out the intimidating women deer hunters on page 12 with their blue shotguns. Deer everywhere are trembling. :D

Even though the information was somewhat dated, two things jump out at me.

1) Low percentage of women hunters compared to the population. I guess that is why we have seen that demographic targeted so heavily by the outdoor industry in recent years.

2) Income-looks like this might comfirm that you have to have money to hunt.....incomes 40K and higher, as a percentage, are higher for deer hunters than for the country as a whole.

Thanks for posting this!
