Hunting Market Forecast
Ansom Magazine
Share
On a year-over-year basis, sales of both firearms and ammunition have been up each month for at least the past 10 months, according to the National Shooting Sports Federation.
In the first quarter of
this year, the most recent for which data are available, manufacturers paid $109.8 million in federal Firearms and Ammunition Excise Tax, up 43 percent from the same time period the year prior. A statement from Federal Ammunition says that "demand for our products is at an all-time high. We continue to work seven days a week, making multiple daily shipments to meet the current demand." This all bodes well in the short term for the health and vitality of hunting, a sport that pumps an estimated
$23 billion per year into the U.S. economy. Looking at the long term, however, there have been indications for the past several years that hunters as a percentage of the total U.S. population are on the decline, although how sharp a decline is open to debate.

An early and abundant acorn crop, combined with new growth
of native vegetation may force Texas deer hunters to stray from supplemental food sources during the 2009-2010 general deer season, which opens Nov. 7.
Reports from Texas Parks and Wildlife Department field biologists indicate above average mast crop production and an early acorn drop. Recent rains across much of the state have also helped generate forb production, adding to the availability of native food sources for deer.
"It’s been at least three years since ground moisture has been this
good at this time of year," said Mike Krueger, TPWD district wildlife biologist in Kerrville. "It looks like springtime in the Edwards Plateau at this time.
