How many people hunt each year?

Answer 1

Not many in relation with the Earth's population but in some regions they are majority. Mainly aboriginals and inhabitants of remote regions still use hunting as their main source of food.

Also the bush people of Africa. Most of these groups have a good balance and so do not damage the ecosystem.

The big problems are the humans that hunt for sport. In parts of East Africa they are having a terrible effect. For instance, because 'great white hunters' want to kill elephants with big tusks, there are very few left, which means that the females have to mate with smaller elephants. Also smaller elephants survive to breed. THis means that far from merely killing the big elephants, the evolution of hte elephant is sent into reverse

Answer 2

Approximately 90 people die in hunting accidents (gun deaths) per year. Approximately 65 of those deaths are one person shooting another by accident. The other 25 are self-inflicted.

These are old numbers, but according to several sources they have held steady even as the number of hunters decline.

There are about 500 non-fatal gun-related accidental injuries related to hunting every year nationwide.

Answer 3

Not very many if any. It remains an excellent excuse that poachers use in a hope of gaining a sympathetic court verdict. A decent rifle can be worth several sacks of pinto beans, corn meal, a gallon of molasses and a tin of lard while the cost of gasoline to reach a good hunting area and back will often hit 20 dollars or more.

It is true that the social welfare system including food banks are often hard pressed to service their clients but help is usually available from some location.

Answer 4

This can be a tricky question to answer. In some cultures and countries, hunting is still one of the more important ways for people to gather their food and other things they need for life.

In the United States, according to the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, there were 14.7 million people with paid hunting licenses in the US, but some states have rules that might make this number lower than the real number of active hunters.

The National Shooting Sports Foundation estimates that there are 20.6 million active hunters in the United States.

Neither of these numbers tells us how frequently people hunt, what they hunt, or how many of those hunters actually make fair use of what they hunt and which do it purely for sport. Some people feel there is an important difference between hunting animals for actual personal use and simply killing them for fun.

Answer 5

The percentage will vary sharply depending on location, New York City- probably none. Tanana Alaska- many. A much larger percentage of people do not rely entirely of hunting, but their diet is supplemented by wild game. I grew up in a rural area of the US in the 1950s, and game was a frequent item at our table- dove, Quail, Wild Turkey, Venison, Rabbit and Squirrel. Areas in rural South America and Africa may get almost all animal protein from game.
