    By the numbers

    The folks over at Hunting Illustrated magazine put together a pretty darned good publication - especially if you like Western Hunting tales and photos.

    One monthly feature I enjoy is a sidebar where they post statistics. Here are some from this past issue:

    14.3 Million - The number of hunters in the US

    1.8 million - The number of youth hunters

    1 in 4 - Gun hunters who also bowhunt

    37.2 - The average age of the bowhunting population

    3.2 Million
    - The number of hunters in the US who bowhunt

      My cousin’s boss is in the latest issue - Steve Aldermann - my cousin video taped the hunt and is in one of the photographs in the story. I agree - it’s a good magazine! I enjoy the heck out of the pictures, at least!
