PROCLAMATION
WHEREAS, hunting and fishing have always been an important part of the North Carolina tradition,
and for over 100 years hunters and anglers have been at the forefront of the conservation movement

contributing $3.5 million per day nationally, with North Carolinians contributing nearly $30 million
for licenses and wildlife stamp and excise taxes on sporting equipment in 1996, and
WHEREAS, this financial support has provided the basis for scientific research, habitat restoration
and education which have led to the dramatic comeback of wildlife in North Carolina such as wild
turkey river otters, tundra swans and other waterfowl, alligators, shore birds, bald eagles and other
raptors and fur bearers; and
WHEREAS, hunters and anglers are important to the economy with the average sportsman spending
$1,024 each year on food, lodging, equipment, real estate leases and conservation fees, and one
million jobs are directly or indirectly supported by hunting and fishing; and
WHEREAS, awareness, understanding and respect of the natural environment and its wildlife, and
ethical hunters and anglers who share this treasure with a youngster friend or relative, point out that
dollars and cents alone do not represent the true worth of outdoor traditions;
