North Carolina is Passionate About Hunting & Fishing
July 26, 2007
A study conducted by National Assembly of Sportsmen’s Caucuses
and the North Carolina State Chapter of the National Wild Turkey
Federation shows that our state ranks high in support for hunting and fishing.
Among North Carolina Residents fishing has a 95% approval rating, hunting has and 84% approval rating, and probably the most important stat from this report is that 83% believe that hunting & fishing are part of a sound wildlife management tool.
As revealed in the report, North Carolina ranks 10th in the nation for
the number of paid hunting license holders, with more than 427,000 hunting
licenses sold. When you take into account the revenue that is derived from
the sale of resident, non-resident, tags, permits and stamps that are
affiliated with hunting in North Carolina, the revenue is more than $10
million.
This is great news it seems that North Carolina is an Outdoors paradise with a lot of support for outdoor activities now it’s great to have a study that supports that thought. We as outdoorsmen can not sit back and rest on this we have to continue to work hard to maintain this good image.
Moose Droppings is a place that chronicles my journey, I’ll explore new places and ideas I’ll learn new things and I’ll teach the things I’ve learned to others. Join me on the adventure and hopefully it will help you in your outdoor endeavors.
Moose: Interesting report on NC’s passions. I think there must have been an error in the numbers reported or quoted. “When you take into account the revenue that is derived from
the sale of resident, non-resident, tags, permits and stamps that are
affiliated with hunting in North Carolina, the revenue is more than $10
million.” Shouldn’t that number have a lot more zeros? Mike
I’d say that North Carolina has some very wise and very enlightened citizens, along with some great outdoorsmen that are representing us all in a way to be proud of. I’m impressed.
