This project clearly conveys the immediacy of the financial challenge the overall conservation community faces stemming from changing hunter and angler participation and it predicts that reductions in agency funding could occur as soon as 2024, due to a generation of hunters and anglers aging out of participation.Īlong with the state and national level trends, the Council to Advance Hunting and the Shooting Sports, Recreational Boating and Fishing Foundation, and American Sportfishing Association have identified some of the following insights as examples of what state fish and wildlife agencies, and other partners, can do to respond and address the expected shifts in license sales:ġ) Adopt a customer-centric approach in which R3 professionals focus on trends in purchasing habits, customer demographics and much more. “The Future of Hunting and Fishing Project” was designed to better understand the declines and shifts in hunting and fishing license sales, and the resulting impact this will have on the future trajectories of conservation revenues. Building on a foundation of cohort analysis from 1992 to 2012, the current phase of the project examined license sales trends from 2012 to 2017 in more than half of state fish and wildlife agencies and represents over 56.3% of all license sales.

This research was completed in 2017 and seeks to examine shifts in demographics of cohorts of hunters and anglers through time. The project, titled “ The Future of Hunting and Fishing Project,” expands on previous work done by Dr. Loren Chase, of Chase and Chase Consulting, to examine shifts in demographics of cohorts of hunters and anglers through time. The Council to Advance Hunting and the Shooting Sports, along with support from the Recreational Boating and Fishing Foundation and the American Sportfishing Association, has commissioned a study with Dr.
