Some U.S.of A. hunting stats.
■ A hunter’s best friend is his dog and they show it—hunters spend $605 million on hunting dogs, well more than the $513 million skiers spend on ski equipment.
■ Each year hunters spend more money on food for hunting trips than Americans spend on Domino’s pizza. Business generated by hunters is often the lifeblood of rural communities.
■ Over a half million jobs in America are supported by hunters. That’s more jobs than the combined employees of all the top U.S. based airlines including American, United, Delta, Northwest, Continental, US Airways, Southwest, Alaska Air and American West.
■ The $2.4 billion in annual federal income-tax money generated by hunters’ spending could cover the annual paychecks of 100,000 troops. That’s 8 divisions, 143 battalions, 3,300 platoons and some major money.
