Hunting in America is Big Business
The Animal Use Issues Committee of the International Association
of Fish and Wildlife Agencies (IAFWA) recently released "Hunting in
America," a report that cites the latest figures (year 2006) on the
economic contributions that hunters make to the US economy. According to
the report, hunters invest $1.3 billion dollars annually to preserve,
protect, and enhance wildlife populations and the environment. In
Maryland, it is estimated that over 160,000 hunters annually enjoy over
2 million days of hunting and contribute over $210 million to the
state's economy. For a free copy of the report contact the IAFWA at
