Note: Detail does not add to total because of multiple responses. The column showing percent of participation is based on total participants. The column showing percent of
population is based on the state population 6 to 15 years old, including those who did not participate in wildlife watching. Data reported on this table are from screening
interviews in which one adult household member responded for all household members 6 to 15 years old. The screening interview required the respondent to recall
12 months worth of activity. Includes persons who wildlife watched only in other countries.

who fished, etc.). Remaining percent columns show the percent of each column’s participants who are described by the row heading (the percent of anglers who lived in
urban areas, etc.). Data reported on this table are from screening interviews in which one adult household member responded for household members 6 to 15 years old.
The screening interview required the respondent to recall 12 months worth of activity. Includes state residents who fished or hunted only in other countries.
