Recently released by the U.S. Census Bureau for the U.S. Department of the Interior's Fish and Wildlife Service, the 2006 National Survey of Fishing, Hunting, and Wildlife-Associated Recreation shows that more than 87 million Americans participated in wildlife-related recreation in 2006, spending more than $12.   

In 2006, Montana residents and nonresidents spent $1.1 billion on wildlife recreation in Montana. Of that total, trip-related expenditures were $585 million and equipment purchases totaled $472 million. The remaining $72 million was spent on licenses, contributions, land ownership and leasing, and other items.
