The only way to curb the decline in hunters across the country is to get youth involved in the outdoor lifestyle and bring new or former adult outdoorsmen and women into the fold, as well. The statistics are very revealing, it’s estimated that only 5% of the population across the country hunts. Even more amazing is the fact that those 5% of people contribute nearly 60 percent of the funding for wildlife agencies across the country with their purchases of licenses, ammunition, firearms and more. A thriving hunting culture and population is important, not just to keep the lifestyle alive, but also to take care of natural resources – the wildlife and the great outdoors we all love.
