States Passing Hunter-Friendly Laws See Upswing





The latest National Hunting License Report released from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service shows a slight increase in the number of paid hunting license holders, from 14.57 million in 2005 to 14.62 million in 2006. Encouragingly, seven states that passed youth- and apprentice-friendly hunting laws between 2004 and 2006 saw increases -- Kansas, Minnesota, Florida, Kentucky, Michigan, Tennessee and Utah. Through 2007, Families Afield -- an initiative of NSSF, the National Wild Turkey Federation and U.S. Sportsmen's Alliance -- has helped create new hunting opportunities for youths and other newcomers in these and 14 other states. The latest National Hunting License Report also shows a 4.1 percent increase in gross dollars reported for the purchase of hunting licenses, tags, permits and stamps, from $723.71 million in 2005 to $753.57 million in 2006.
