Project Summary

The United States Fish and Wildlife Service has been sponsoring the National Survey of Fishing, Hunting, and Wildlife-Associated Recreation every five years since 1955. Over the years, the Missouri Department of Conservation has lent its statistical and survey expertise to help with the National Survey's design and analysis. The National Survey of Fishing, Hunting, and Wildlife-Associated Recreation is viewed as one of the nation’s most important wildlife-related recreation databases and the definitive source of information concerning participation and purchases associated with hunting, fishing and other forms of wildlife-related recreation nationwide. The survey has detailed information on the number of U.S. residents 16 years of age and older who fished, hunted or wildlife watched (fed, observed, or photographed wildlife) in each survey year. It provides information on their expenditures for trips, equipment, and other items.
