USFWS Outdoor Recreation Survery - You do count!

[John Scifres]

1% of GDP is spent on outdoor recreation!

Hunter numbers grew!  While this doesn't break it down by type of weapon, overall hunter numbers increased by 9% from 2006 to 2011.  From 2001 to 2011, hunter numbers are up 1.2 million.  

I'd love to see some trad hunter numbers over that time.  Anybody know of any formal sturdies done by trade groups or someone else that breaks it down like that?

The final report will have the data broken down by age which is always what interests me most.  Overall I'd call it good news.

Here's the Report:   US FWS Outdoor Recreation Survey Summary
