Hunting Is A Vital Part Of Canadian/American Culture
Hunting is an important and traditional recreational activity in which 20,000,000 Americans 16 years old and older participate. Hunters have been and continue to be among the foremost supporters of sound wildlife management and conservation practices in the United States and Canada. Hunters and organizations related to hunting provide direct assistance to wildlife managers and enforcement officers at all levels of government. Hunting is an essential component of effective wildlife management, in that it tends to reduce conflicts between people and wildlife and provides incentives for the conservation of wildlife habitats and ecosystems on which wildlife depends. Through legislative programs designed to channel funds back into the conservation process, hunters have restored populations of deer, moose, caribou, elk, antelope, turkeys and ducks to record numbers.

Hunting contributes over $30 billion to the economy each year, supporting over 1,000,000 jobs in the United States and Canada. (National Shooting Sports Foundation) Hunting provides food for people. For nearly a decade, hunters have provided thousands of pounds of game meat through donation programs such as Hunters Sharing the Harvest and Hunters for the Hungry. Hunting helps manage animal populations resulting in less human/animal traffic accidents.
