1.1B Spent on Montana Wildlife Recreation
Saturday, 10 May 2008

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.
