There are 11.5 million hunters in the United States.
9.2 million hunt big game,
3.5 million hunt small game, and
2.4 million hunt migratory birds
These 11.5 million hunters spent $26.3 BILLION in 2016 (according to the 2016 National Survey of Fishing, Hunting, and Wildlife-Associated Recreation's 5-year survey)
This number could fill all NFL stadiums 6 times over!
These 11.5 million hunters are almost 4 times the total number of people attending baseball games at the LA Dodgers over a full season (3.9 million in 2019)
Hunters spend more on their activity than the total revenues of McDonalds!
Hunters = $26.2 billion vs. McDonald's = $21.5 billion
Hunters spend an average of $493 on their hunting dogs, and $378 million on ice.
Where does all this money go and what does it benefit? Why should you THANK a HUNTER when you are enjoying nature, the lands, woods, waters and wildlife?
Listen in for more facts about how and why Hunters and Anglers spend $$$$ on their beloved resource!
Enjoy!
