DNR data from 2018 shows:
• Forty-one percent of the adults living in Michigan participate in fee-based outdoor recreation activities such as hunting, fishing, and camping.
• The highest concentration of fishing license purchases took place in the southeast part of the state in Wayne, Oakland, Macomb, Kent, and Genesee counties.
• Out-of-state purchases of Michigan fishing licenses most frequently came from Wisconsin, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and Florida, accounting for 17 percent of sales.
Pedigo further noted in the press release that 87 percent of Michigan’s adult population participates in outdoor recreation activities, including camping. “It’s safe to say that anybody who enjoys Michigan’s outdoors benefits when people hunt and fish,” he said, adding that hunting and fishing are also important conservation tools because they help keep wildlife populations in balance with their habitats.
The Michigan Wildlife Council is dedicated to increasing public understanding of the important role hunting and fishing play in wildlife conservation and how those management practices are funded.
