Sport Fishing and Hunting Outside the United States 



Resident United States sportsmen who fished and hunted in 

 the United States in 1960 are included in this survey. Those 

 whose only fishing or hunting activity took place outside the 

 United Slates are not included. 



Expenditures on Sport Fishing and Hunting 



Expenditures on sport fishing and hunting made in the United 

 States during 1960 are shown in the illustrations on pages 1 

 and 8-16 and in the tables on pages 43-48. Individual fisher- 

 men and hunters identified from a sample of households were 

 asked detailed questions about their expenditures on these sports 

 in personal interviews. Some spent nothing, others spent rela- 

 tively large amounts of money. No one reported on the ex- 

 penditures of some other sportsmen except for some under 16 

 years of age. The illustrations and tables show National figures 



in total and by different kinds of fishing and hunting and by 

 type of goods and services bought. These sportsmen's expen- 

 ditures include purchases by individuals and the value of gifts 

 received during 1960. Sportsmen were asked to designate, for 

 each purchase, the activity for which they used this purchase the 

 most. The entire expenditure for these items was shown under 

 the designated activity despite the fact that the items may have 

 been used for more than one activity. Total expenditures on 

 goods and services made chiefly for fishing and hunting are the 

 sum of expenditures on: (1) food and lodging; (2) transporta- 

 tion; (3) auxiliary equipment; (4) fishing and hunting equip- 

 ment; (5) licenses, tags, and permits; and (6) privilege fees and 

 other. 



(1) Food and lodging. — Outlays on food and lodging are the 

 sum of expenditures on these items made by sportsmen on fish- 

 ing and hunting trips. Outlays on food are the sum of meals 

 plus the cost of snacks and refeshments while fishing and hunting. 

 However, $7.77 a week per person was deducted from outlays 

 for restaurant meals to account for that portion of these meal 

 costs representing the average cost of meals eaten at home. The 

 cost of groceries brought from home, or purchased on a fishing 

 or hunting trip for preparation by the sportsman, plus all kinds 

 of alcoholic beverages, was excluded from outlays on food. 



Outlays on lodging while fishing and hunting were obtained 

 directly from the schedule as reported by the sportsman as his 

 share of the.se costs. 



(2) Transportation. — Outlays on transportation are the sum of 

 expenditures on automobile transportation and for all other
