The U.S. Department of the Interior protects and manages the Nation’s natural resources and cultural
heritage; provides scientifi c and other information about those resources; and honors its trust responsi-bilities
or special commitments to American Indians, Alaska Natives, and affi liated Island Communities.
The mission of the Department’s U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is working with others to conserve,
protect, and enhance fi sh, wildlife, and their habitats for the continuing benefi t of the American people.
The Service is responsible for national programs of vital importance to our natural resources, including
administration of the Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration Programs. These two programs provide fi nan-cial
assistance to the States for projects to enhance and protect fi sh and wildlife resources and to assure
their availability to the public for recreational purposes. Multistate grants from these programs fund the
National Survey of Fishing, Hunting, and Wildlife-Associated Recreation.

vi 2006 National Survey of Fishing, Hunting, and Wildlife-Associated Recreation—Hawaii U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service
I fi nd duck hunting with friends in
a bottomland hardwood swamp or
fi shing with my kids on an Oregon
river bolsters my spirit and reminds me
why I care about conservation and our
wildlife heritage.
But wildlife-associated and vital
recreation—activities such as hunting,
fi shing, and birding—also provide
signifi cant fi nancial support for wildlife
conservation in our Nation’s economy.
According to information from the
newest National Survey of Fishing,
Hunting, and Wildlife-Associated
Recreation, 87.5 million Americans
spent more than $122 billion in 2006
on wildlife-related recreation. And
this spending supports hundreds of
thousands of jobs in industries and
businesses.
The Survey is conducted every fi ve
years at the request of State fi sh and
wildlife agencies to measure the impor-tance
of wildlife-based recreation to the
American people. The 2006 Survey
represents the 11th in a series that
began in 1955. Developed in collabo-ration
with the States, the Association
of Fish and Wildlife Agencies, and
national conservation organizations,
the Survey has become one of the most
important sources of information on
fi sh and wildlife-related recreation in
the United States.
In the 75-year history of the Sport Fish
and Wildlife Restoration Programs,
excise taxes on fi rearms, ammunition,
archery, and angling equipment have
generated a cumulative total of more
than $10 billion for wildlife conserva-tion
efforts by State and Territorial
wildlife agencies for fi sh and wildlife
management.
My thanks go to the men and women
who took time to participate in the
survey, as well as to the State fi sh and
wildlife agencies for their fi nancial
support through the Multistate Conser-vation
Grant Programs. Without that
support, the 2006 Survey would never
have been possible.
I am comforted to know that my chil-dren
and all Americans will have the
opportunity to appreciate our Nation’s
rich wildlife tradition. Along with
a record number of Americans, we
continue to enjoy wildlife. We are
laying the foundation for conservation’s
future.

Survey Background and Method
The National Survey of Fishing,
Hunting, and Wildlife-Asso ciated
Recreation (Survey) has been
conducted since 1955 and is one of
the oldest and most comprehensive
continuing recreation surveys. The
Survey collects information on the
number of anglers, hunters, and wild-life
watchers; how often they partici-pate;
and how much they spend on their
activities in the United States.
Preparations for the 2006 Survey began
in 2004 when the Association of Fish
and Wildlife Agencies (AFWA) recom-mended
that the Fish and Wildlife
Service conduct the 11th Survey of
wildlife-related recreation. Funding
came from the Multistate Conservation
Grant Programs, authorized by Sport
Fish and Wildlife Restoration Acts, as
amended.
We consulted with State and Federal
agencies and nongovernmental
o rganizations such as the Wildlife
Management Institute and American
Sportfi shing Association to determine
survey content. Other sportsper-sons’
organizations and conservation
groups, industry representatives, and
researchers also provided valuable
advice.
Four regional technical committees
were set up under the auspices of the
AFWA to ensure that State fi sh and
wildlife agencies had an opportunity to
participate in all phases of survey plan-ning
and design. The committees were
made up of agency representatives.
Data collection for the Survey was
carried out by the U.S. Census Bureau
in two phases. The fi rst phase was the
screen which began in April 2006.
During this phase, the Census Bureau
interviewed a sample of 85,000 house-holds
nationwide to determine who
in the household had fi shed, hunted,
or wildlife watched in 2005, and who
had engaged or planned to engage
in those activities in 2006. In most
cases, one adult household member
provided information for all members.
The screen primarily covered 2005
activities while the next, more in-depth
phase covered 2006 activities. For
more information on 2005 data, refer to
Appendix B.
The second phase of data collection
consisted of three detailed inter-view
waves. The fi rst began in April
2006 concurrent with the screen, the
second in September 2006, and the
last in January 2007. Interviews were
conducted with samples of likely
anglers, hunters, and wildlife watchers
who were identifi ed in the initial
screening phase. Interviews were
conducted primarily by phone, with
in-person interviews for respondents
who could not be reached by phone.
Respondents in the second survey
phase were limited to those who were
at least 16 years old. Each respondent
provided information pertaining only to
his or her activities and expenditures.
Sample sizes were designed to provide
statistically reliable results at the state
level. Information on sampling proce-dures,
sample sizes, and response rates
is found in Appendix D.
Comparability With Previous
Surveys
The 2006 Survey questions and meth-odology
were similar to those used
in the 2001, 1996, and 1991 Surveys.
Therefore, the estimates are compa-rable.
The methodology of these Surveys
did differ importantly from the 1985
and 1980 Surveys, so these estimates
are not directly comparable to those
of earlier surveys. Changes in meth-odology
included reducing the recall
period over which respondents had to
report their activities and expenditures.
Previous Surveys used a 12-month
recall period, which resulted in greater
reporting bias. Research found that the
amount of activity and expenditures
reported in 12-month recall surveys
was overestimated in comparison
with that reported using shorter recall
periods.
Highlights
2 2006 National Survey of Fishing, Hunting, and Wildlife-Associated Recreation—Hawaii U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service
Introduction
The National Survey of Fishing,
Hunting, and Wildlife-Associated
Recreation reports results from inter-views
with U.S. residents about their
fi shing, hunting, and wildlife watching.
This report focuses on 2006 participa-tion
and expenditures of persons 16
years of age and older.
The Survey is a snapshot of one year.
The information it collected tells us
how many people participated and
how much they spent on their activi-ties
in the State in 2006. It does not
tell us how many anglers, hunters, and
wildlife watchers there were because
many do not participate every year.
For example, based on information
collected by the Survey’s household
screen and detailed phase, we can
estimate that about 33 percent more
anglers and hunters participated nation-ally
in at least 1 of the 4 years prior to
the survey year 2006.
In addition to 2006 estimates, we also
provide trend information in the High-lights
section and Appendix C of the
report. The 2006 numbers reported can
be compared with those in the 1991,
1996, and 2001 Survey reports because
they used similar methodologies. The
2006 estimates should not be directly
compared with results from Surveys
conducted earlier than 1991 because
of changes in methodology to improve
accuracy.
The report also provides information
on participation in wildlife recreation
in 2005, particularly of persons 6 to 15
years of age. The 2005 information is
provided in Appendix B. Information
about the Survey’s scope and coverage
is in Appendix D. The remainder of this
section defi nes important terms used in
the Survey.
This report does not provide infor-mation
about the State’s wildlife
resources. That, and additional infor-mation
on wildlife-related recreation,
may be obtained from State fi sh and
wildlife agencies. The Association of
Fish and Wildlife Agencies can provide
the addresses and telephone numbers of
those agencies. The Association’s Web
site is <www.fi shwildlife.org>.
Wildlife-Associated Recreation
Wildlife-associated recreation is
fi shing, hunting, and wildlife-watching
activities. These categories are not
mutually exclusive because many indi-viduals
participated in more than one
activity. Wildlife-associated recreation
is reported in two major categories: (1)
fi shing and hunting and (2) wildlife
watching, which includes observing,
photographing, and feeding fi sh or
wildlife.
Fishing and Hunting
This Survey reports information about
residents of the United States who
fi shed or hunted in 2006, regardless of
whether they were licensed. The fi shing
and hunting sections report information
for three groups: (1) sportspersons, (2)
anglers, and (3) hunters.
Sportspersons
Sportspersons are those who fi shed
or hunted. Individuals who fi shed
or hunted commercially in 2006 are
reported as sportspersons only if they
also fi shed or hunted for recreation.
The sportspersons group is composed
of three subgroups, as shown in the
diagram on this page: (1) those that
fi shed and hunted, (2) those that only
fi shed, and (3) those that only hunted.
The total number of sportspersons is
equal to the sum of people who only
fi shed, only hunted, and both hunted
and fi shed. It is not the sum of all
anglers and all hunters because those
people who both fi shed and hunted are
included in both the angler and hunter
population and would be incorrectly
counted twice.
Anglers
Anglers are sportspersons who only
fi shed plus those who fi shed and
hunted. Anglers include not only
licensed hook and line anglers, but
also those who have no license and
those who use special methods such as
fi shing with spears.
Three types of fi shing are reported: (1)
freshwater, excluding the Great Lakes,
(2) Great Lakes, and (3) saltwater.
Since many anglers participated in
more than one type of fi shing, the total
number of anglers is less than the sum
of the three types of fi shing.
Hunters
Hunters are sportspersons who only
hunted plus those who hunted and
fi shed. Hunters include not only
licensed hunters using rifl es and shot-guns
but also those who had no license
and those who hunted with a bow and
arrow, primitive fi rearm, or pistol or
handgun.

Four types of hunting are reported: (1)
big game, (2) small game, (3) migra-tory
bird, and (4) other animals. Since
many hunters participated in more than
one type of hunting, the sum of hunters
for big game, small game, migratory
bird, and other animals exceeds the
total number of hunters.
Wildlife Watchers
Since 1980, the National Survey has
included information on wildlife-watching
activities in addition to
fi shing and hunting. The 1991, 1996,
2001, and 2006 Surveys, unlike the
1980 and 1985 Surveys, collected data
only for activities where the primary
purpose was wildlife watching. The
1980 and 1985 Surveys included esti-mates
of unplanned wildlife watching
around the home and while on trips
taken for another purpose.
The 2006 Survey uses a strict defi ni-tion
of wildlife watching. Participants
must either take a “special interest”
in w ildlife around their homes or take
a trip for the “primary purpose” of
wildlife watching. Secondary wild-life
watching, such as incidentally
observing wildlife while pleasure
driving, is not included.
Two types of wildlife watching
are reported: (1) away-from-home
(formerly nonresidential) activities and
(2) around-the-home (formerly residen-tial)
activities. Because some people
participated in more than one type of
wildlife watching, the sum of partici-pants
in each type will be greater than
the total number of wildlife watchers.
The two types of wildlife-watching
activity are explained next.
Away-From-Home Wildlife
Watching
This group includes persons who
took trips or outings of at least 1 mile
from home for the primary purpose of
observing, feeding, or photographing
fi sh and wildlife. Trips to fi sh, hunt,
or scout and trips to zoos, circuses,
aq uariums, and museums are not
considered wildlife-watching activities.
Around-the-Home Wildlife
Watching
This group includes those who
participated within 1 mile of home and
involves one or more of the following:
(1) closely observing or trying to iden-tify
birds or other wildlife; (2) photo-graphing
wildlife; (3) feeding birds or
other wildlife; (4) maintaining natural
areas of at least 1/4 acre where benefi t
to wildlife is the primary concern; (5)
maintaining plantings (shrubs, agri-cultural
crops, etc.) where benefi t to
wildlife is the primary concern; or (6)
visiting public parks within 1 mile
of home for the primary purpose of
observing, feeding, or photographing
wildlife.

6 2006 National Survey of Fishing, Hunting, and Wildlife-Associated Recreation—Hawaii U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service
Participation in Hawaii
The 2006 Survey found that 366 thou-sand
Hawaii residents and nonresidents
16 years old and older fi shed, hunted,
or wildlife watched in Hawaii. Of the
total number of participants, 157 thou-sand
fi shed, 18 thousand hunted, and
262 thousand participated in wildlife -
watching activities, which include
observing, feeding, and photographing
wildlife. The sum of anglers, hunters,
and wildlife watchers exceeds the total
number of participants in wildlife -
related recreation because many indi-viduals
engaged in more than
one wildlife-related activity.
Participation by 6-to-15-Year-Old
Hawaii Residents
The focus of the National Survey is
on the activity of participants 16 years
old and older. However, the activity
of 6- to 15-year-olds can be calculated
using the screening data covering the
year 2005. It is assumed for estima-tion
purposes that the relative activity
levels of 6-to-15-year-old participants
and participants 16 years old and older
remained the same in 2005 and 2006.
Based on this assumption, in addition
to the 94 thousand resident anglers
16 years old and older, there were 22
thousand resident anglers 6 to 15 years
old. Also, in addition to the 19 thou-sand
residents 16 years old and older
who hunted, there were 3 thousand
6-to-15-year-old residents who hunted.
Finally, there were 160 thousand
Hawaii residents 16 years old and older
and 33 thousand 6- to 15-year-olds who
wildlife watched. Further information
on 6- to 15-year-olds is provided in
Appendix B.
Expenditures in Hawaii
In 2006, state residents and nonresi-dents
spent $374 million on wildlife
recreation in Hawaii. Of that total, trip-related
expenditures were $269 million
and equipment purchases totaled $98
million. The remaining $7 million was
spent on licenses, contributions, land
ownership and leasing, and other items.

Anglers
Participants and Days of Fishing
In 2006, 157 thousand state residents
and nonresidents 16 years old and
older fi shed in Hawaii. Of this total,
92 thousand anglers (58 percent) were
state residents and 65 thousand anglers
(42 percent) were nonresidents. Anglers
fi shed a total of 1.5 million days in
Hawaii—an average of 9 days per
angler. State residents fi shed 1.3 million
days—88 percent of all fi shing days
in Hawaii. Nonresidents fi shed 171
thousand days in Hawaii—12 percent
of all fi shing days in the state.
A large majority of Hawaii residents
who fi shed anywhere in the United
States did so in their resident state.
There were 94 thousand Hawaii
residents 16 years old and older who
fi shed in the United States in 2006 for
over 1.3 million days. An estimated
97 percent of all Hawaii residents who
fi shed did so in their home state. For

Fishing Expenditures in Hawaii
All fi shing-related expenditures in
Hawaii totaled $111 million in 2006.
Trip-related expenditures, which
include food and lodging, transporta-tion,
and other trip expenses, totaled
$73 million—66 percent of all fi shing
expenditures. Expenditures for food
and lodging were $25 million and
transportation expenditures were $18
million. Other trip expenses, such as
equipment rental, bait, and cooking
fuel, totaled $30 million. Each angler
spent an average of $463 on trip-related
costs during 2006.
Anglers spent $37 million on equip-ment
in Hawaii in 2006, 33 percent of
all fi shing expenditures. Fishing equip-ment
(rods, reels, line, etc.) spending
totaled $27 million—74 percent of the
equipment total. Auxiliary equipment
expenditures (tents, special fi shing
clothes, etc.) and special equip-ment
expenditures (boats, vans, etc.)
amounted to $10 million—26 percent
of the equipment total. Special and
auxiliary equipment are items that were
purchased for fi shing but could be used
in activities other than fi shing.
The purchase of other items, such as
magazines, membership dues, licenses,
permits, stamps, and land leasing and
ownership, amounted to $939 thou-sand—
1 percent of all fi shing expen-ditures.

Hunters
Participants and Days of Hunting
In 2006, there were 18 thousand resi-dents
and nonresidents 16 years old and
older who hunted in Hawaii. Resident
hunters accounted for almost 100
percent of all hunters in Hawaii. They
hunted 418 thousand days in Hawaii in
2006, an average of 23 days per hunter.
There were 19 thousand Hawaii
residents 16 years old and older who
hunted in the United States in 2006
for a total of 421 thousand days. An
estimated 95 percent of all Hawaii
residents who hunted did so in their
home state. Of all hunting days by
Hawaii residents, 99 percent were spent
pursuing game in their home state. For
more information on hunting activities
by Hawaii residents, see Table 3.

expenditures. Hunting equipment
(guns, ammunition, etc.) totaled $9
million and made up 90 percent of
all equipment costs. Hunters spent
$942 thousand on auxiliary equipment
(tents, special hunting clothes, etc.)
and special equipment (boats, vans,
etc.), accounting for 10 percent of total
equipment expenditures for hunting.
Special and auxiliary equipment are
items that were purchased for hunting
but could be used in activities other
than hunting.
The purchase of other items, such as
magazines, membership dues, licenses,
permits, and land leasing and owner-ship,
cost hunters $583 thousand—3
percent of all hunting expenditures.

in Hawaii, see Tables 20
through 23.

12 2006 National Survey of Fishing, Hunting, and Wildlife-Associated Recreation—Hawaii U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service
Wildlife Watchers
Participants and Days of Activity
In 2006, 262 thousand U.S. residents
16 years old and older fed, observed, or
photographed wildlife in Hawaii. Fifty-fi
ve percent (145 thousand) enjoyed
their activities close to home and are
called “around-the-home” participants.
Those persons who enjoyed wildlife
at least 1 mile from home are called
“away-from-home” participants.
People participating in away-from-home
activities in Hawaii in 2006
numbered 154 thousand—59 percent
of all wildlife watchers in Hawaii. Of
the 154 thousand, 47 thousand were
state residents and 107 thousand were
nonresidents.
Hawaii residents 16 years old and older
who enjoyed away-from-home wildlife
watching within their state totaled 47
thousand. Of this group, 47 thousand
participants observed wildlife and 33
thousand photographed wildlife. Since
some individuals engaged in more than
one of the away-from-home activities
during the year, the sum of wildlife
observers and photographers exceeds
the total number of away-from-home
participants.
Hawaii residents spent 386 thousand
days engaged in away-from-home
wildlife-watching activities in their
state. They spent 357 thousand days
observing wildlife and 218 thousand
days photographing wildlife. The sum
of days observing and photographing
wildlife exceeds the total days of
wildlife -watching activity because
individuals engaged in more than one
activity on some days. For further
details about away-from-home activi-ties,
see Table 25.
Hawaii residents also took an active
interest in wildlife around their homes.
In 2006, 145 thousand state residents
enjoyed observing, feeding, and
photographing wildlife within 1 mile
of their homes. Among this around-the-
home group, 88 thousand fed, 88
thousand observed, and 41 thousand

photographed wildlife around their
homes. Another 41 thousand partici-pants
visited public parks within a
mile of home because of the wildlife.
Summing the number of participants
in these activities results in an esti-mate
that exceeds the total number of
around-the-home participants because
many people participated in more than
one type of around-the-home activity.
In addition, 28 percent of resident
around-the-home wildlife watchers also
enjoyed wildlife away from home. For
further details about Hawaii residents
participating in around-the-home
wildlife-watching activities, see
Table 27.
Wild Bird Observers
Bird watching attracted many wildlife
enthusiasts in Hawaii. In 2006, 205
thousand people observed birds around
the home and on trips in the state.
Thirty-nine percent (79 thousand)
observed wild birds around the home
while 69 percent (142 thousand) took
trips away from home to watch birds.
Wildlife-Watching Expenditures
in Hawaii
Wildlife watchers spent $210 million
on wildlife-watching activities in
Hawaii in 2006. Trip-related expendi-tures,
including food and lodging ($108
million), transportation ($60 million),
and other trip expenses ($16 million),
such as equipment rental, amounted
to $185 million. This summation
comprised 88 percent of all wildlife-watching
expenditures by participants.
The average of the trip-related expendi-tures
for away-from-home participants
was $1,197 per person in 2006.
Wildlife-watching participants spent
$21 million on equipment—10 percent
of all their expenditures. Specifi cally,
wildlife-watching equipment (binocu-lars,
special clothing, etc.) expenditures
totaled $17 million, 85 percent of
the equipment total. Auxiliary equip-ment
expenditures (tents, backpacking
equipment, etc.) and special equipment
expenditures (campers, trucks, etc.)
amounted to $3 million—15 percent
of all equipment costs. Special and
auxiliary equipment are items that were
purchased for wildlife-watching recre-ation
but can be used in activities other
than wildlife watching.
Other items purchased by wildlife-watching
participants, such as maga-zines,
membership dues and contribu-tions,
land leasing and ownership, and
plantings, totaled $5 million—2 percent
of all wildlife-watching expenditures.

expenditures in Hawaii,

14 2006 National Survey of Fishing, Hunting, and Wildlife-Associated Recreation—Hawaii U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service
1996–2006 Comparisons
Comparing the estimates from the
1996, 2001, and 2006 Surveys gives
a perspective on the state of wildlife-related
recreation in the late 1990s and
early-to-mid 2000s in Hawaii. Only the
most general recreation comparisons
are presented here.
The best way to compare estimates
from surveys is not to compare the
estimates themselves but to compare
the confi dence intervals around the
estimates. A 90-percent confi dence
interval around an estimate gives the
range of estimates that 90 percent of all
possible representative samples would
supply. If the 90-percent confi dence
intervals of two surveys’ estimates
overlap, it is not possible to say the two
estimates are statistically different.
The state resident estimates cover the
participation and expenditure activity
of Hawaii residents anywhere in the
United States. The in-state estimates
cover the participation, day, and
expenditure activity of U.S. residents in
Hawaii.
The expenditure estimates were made
comparable by adjusting the estimates
for infl ation—all estimates are in 2006
dollars.

16 2006 National Survey of Fishing, Hunting, and Wildlife-Associated Recreation—Hawaii U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service
Purpose and Coverage of Tables
The statistical tables of this report were
designed to meet a wide range of needs
for those interested in wildlife-related
recreation. Special terms used in these
tables are defi ned in Appendix A.
The tables are based on responses to
the 2006 Survey, which was designed
to collect data about participation in
wi ldlife-related recreation. To have
taken part in the Survey, a respondent
must have been a U.S. resident (a
resident of one of the 50 states or the
District of Columbia). No one residing
outside the United States (including
U.S. citizens) was eligible for inter-viewing.
Therefore, reported state and
national totals do not include partici-pation
by those who were not U.S.
residents or who were U.S. citizens
residing outside the United States.
Comparability With Previous
Surveys
The numbers reported can be compared
with those in the 1991, 1996, and 2001
Survey Reports. The methodology used
in 2006 was similar to that used in
those Surveys. These results should not
be directly compared to results from
Surveys earlier than 1991 since there
were major changes in methodology
in 1991. These changes were made to
improve accuracy in the estimates.
Coverage of an Individual Table
Since the Survey covers many activi-ties
in various places by participants
of different ages, all table titles,
headnotes, stubs, and footnotes are
designed to identify and articulate each
item being reported in the table. For
example, the title of Table 2 shows that
data about anglers and hunters, their
days of participation, and their number
of trips are reported by type of activity.
By contrast, the title of Table 7 indi-cates
that it contains data on freshwater
anglers and the days they fi shed for
different species.
Percentages Reported in the Tables
Percentages are reported in the tables
for the convenience of the user. When
exclusive groups are being reported, the
base of a percentage is apparent from
its context because the percents add to
100 percent (plus or minus a rounding
error). For example, Table 2 reports
the number of trips taken by big game
hunters, those taken by small game
hunters, those taken by migratory bird
hunters, and those taken by hunters
pursuing other animals. These comprise
100 percent because they are exclusive
categories.
Percents should not add to 100 when
nonexclusive groups are being reported.
Using Table 2 as an example again,
note that adding the percentages associ-ated
with the total number of big game
hunters, total small game hunters,
total migratory bird hunters, and total
hunters of other animals will not yield
total hunters because respondents could
hunt for more than one type of game.
When the base of the percentage is not
apparent in context, it is identifi ed in a
footnote. For example, Table 15 reports
two percentages with different bases:
one base being the number of total
participants at the head of the column
and the other base being the total popu-lation
who are described by the row
category. Footnotes are used to clarify
the bases of the reported percentages.
Footnotes to the Tables
Footnotes are used to clarify the infor-mation
or items that are being reported
in a table. Symbols in the body of a
table indicate important footnotes.
These symbols are used in the tables
to refer to the same footnote each time
they appear:
* Estimate based on a sample size of
10–29.
... Sample size too small to report data
reliably because there were fewer
than 10 responses.
W Less than .5 dollars.
Z Less than 0.5 percent.
X Not applicable.
NA Not asked.
Estimates based upon fewer than 10
responses are regarded as being based
on a sample size that is too small for
reliable reporting. An estimate based
upon at least 10 but fewer than 30
responses is treated as an estimate
based on a small sample size. Other
footnotes appear, as necessary, to
qualify or clarify the estimates reported
in the tables. In addition, these two
important footnotes appear frequently:
• Detail does not add to total because
of multiple responses.
• Detail does not add to total because
of multiple responses and nonre-sponse.
“Multiple responses” is a term used
to refl ect the fact that individuals or
their characteristics fall into more than
one category. Using Table 12 as an
example, those who hunt for big game,
small game, migratory birds, and other
animals are counted only once as a
hunter in the “Total, all hunting�� row.
Another example is Table 15, where
total anglers and hunters add up to
more than total sportspersons. Totals
will be smaller than the sum of subcat-egories
when multiple responses exist.
“Nonresponse” exists because the
Survey questions were answered
voluntarily and some respondents did
not or could not answer all the ques-tions.
Totals are greater than the sum of
subcategories when nonresponses have
occurred. This occurs because some
respondents answered the question that
provided the category estimate but did
not answer the subcategory questions.
