(Associated Press) -- Hunters remain a powerful force in American society, as evidenced by the presidential candidates who routinely pay them homage, but their ranks are shrinking dramatically and wildlife agencies worry increasingly about the loss of sorely needed license-fee revenue.
New figures from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service show that the number of hunters 16 and older declined by 10 percent between 1996 and 2006 _ from 14 million to about 12.5 million. The drop was most acute in New England, the Rocky Mountains, and the Pacific states, which lost 400,000 hunters in that span.

I can't leave a comment on L's blog- boo. So I am spamming you instead. Tell her it's ok she scored kinda low on the "Are you dumb?" quiz cuz she still has college to attend. But afterwards, she better get in the 90s like we did or... something. Heh.

I guess money is always important news to some LOL! That's interesting though. I'm not into hunting for sport-that I don't get. But I can understand people who hunt to supplement their food. Can't say I'm saddened by the decline in hunters.
