The State of Alabama sold 452,400 hunting license in 2021. The State only consists of 33.5 million acres, that also includes all cites and water ways. When you take that in consideration that’s only roughly 73 acres per hunter and way less then that when you consider the less acres the cities and waterways take up, not to mention all the exempt hunters and outlaws that don’t buy licenses. We all say we like to see more kids and young adults get involved in the outdoors me included, but honestly can we afford it ?
This is one of the biggest issues, but you forgot one important part. Your just looking at license sales and forgetting that landowners don’t have to have a hunting license. You can’t find property these days that goes unhunted. If all licensed hunters killed one deer each we would be at half a million.
