Figure 1. Average Annual Contributions to Wildlife Restoration Account (2005-2009) Bows & Arrows $29,623,116 9% Pistols - Revolvers $76,376,012 23% Ammunition $106,635,282 32% Firearms $122,592,006 36% Source: U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Every year since 1939, the revenue generated by hunting licenses in the United States has exceeded that provided by Wildlife Restoration (Figure 2). The amount by which hunting license revenue has exceeded Wildlife Restoration funding has been as high as 1,000 percent in the early years of the program (1943 and 1944), and has averaged 228% annually during the life of the program. This means is that before the industry investment even hits the ground, its value is doubled. As mentioned earlier, without the provision that states cannot divert huntinglicense funds to other purposes, license money would not likely be available for wildlife management and conservation programs.
Figure 2. Wildlife Restoration and Hunting License Income in the United States (1937-2009) From 1937 until 1982, the number of certified hunting license holders in the United States grew steadily (Figure 3). Hunter participation peaked in 1982 at nearly 2-1/2 times the number of hunters in 1937. Since 1982, the number of hunters has declined by approximately 15%. However, even though the number of hunters has recently declined, there were still more than twice as many hunters in 2010 as there were in 1937. 13
