Annual spending by California sportsmen is greater than the cash receipts of the state’s grape crop ($3.6 billion vs. $3 billion).
On the national level, 34 million sportsmen age 16 and older spent more than $76 billion in 2006, supporting 1.6 million jobs. If a single corporation grossed as much as hunters and anglers spend, it would be among America’s 20 largest, ahead of Target, Costco and AT&T.
