Economic Impact Report

Every five years in conjunction with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Survey on hunters and anglers, Congressional Sportsmen’s Foundation produces a report on the economic impact hunters and anglers have on the economy.  This information is vital in helping policy makers, media and the public better understand the impact hunting and fishing activities have on the national and local economy as well as their size as a constituency.

State Reports

To continue to succeed in developing issue briefs and advancing a pro-sportsmen's agenda in state capitols, state legislators need to have reliable information at their fingertips that is easy to understand and put into context.  To meet this need, the National Assembly of Sportsmen's Caucuses produces state reports with essential findings from the best surveys and data available to serve as a central and unifying source of information.
