Hunting & Fishing License Dashboard

The Hunting & Fishing License Dashboard helps characterize license buyers and trends over time. No two states’ license structures are the same and as such the methodology standardizes licenses across states to make them comparable. This is currently the only up-to-date source for state, regional, and national hunting and fishing license sales; and it includes additional metrics such as demographics (gender and age), license rate, new recruits, churn rate, and daily/monthly purchases. If you are looking for hunting and fishing license totals submitted to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, please visit their Funding Sources Page. If you want to see the most recent survey data of participation, please see the 2022 National Survey of Fishing, Hunting, and Wildlife-Associated Recreation.
