The economic benefits from hunting are immense. It not only helps
conservation, but is also a source that has created over 700,000 jobs
across the United States. There are studies, which indicate that the 14
million American hunters spend over 22 billion dollars annually. When
economists crunched these figures to access the economic multiplier
effects, it was found that hunting had an overall impact upon the US
economy to the tune of nearly 61 billion dollars adding approx 1.4
billion to the state tax revenues and nearly 1.7 billion in federal
income taxes. It created over 416 billion dollars in household income by
way of salaries and wages.
