I was just on the FWC website to check something out and ran
across the newly released 2001 National Survey of Fishing,
Hunting and Wildlife-Associated Recreation report.  A link
to the webpage with the link to the pdf is included below.

Fishing:
Number of people:  5,213,000
Dollars spent, Florida Residents:  $3,426,795,000.00
Dollars spent, non-residents: $4,083,409,000.00

Hunting:
Number of hunters: 496,000
Dollars spent, Florida Residents: $545,627,000.00
Dollars spent, non-residents: $394,229,000.00

Wildlife Viewing:
Number of people: 6,096,000
Dollars spent, Florida Residents: $1,444,021,000.00
Dollars spent, non-residents: $1,575,481,000.00


Food for thought.
