Annual spending by Vermont sportsmen and women is more than twice the combined cash receipts for cattle, greenhouse/nursery, hay, and maple products- four of the state’s top five agricultural commodities ($258 million vs. $105 million).
Every five years in conjunction with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Survey on hunters and anglers, CSF produces a report on the economic impact hunters and anglers have on the economy. This information is vital in helping policy makers, media and the public better understand the impact hunting and fishing activities have on the national and local economy as well as their size as a constituency.
