How many people in the US rely on hunting?
Over 300 million hunters reside in the United States. This means that hunters are twice as numerous as those who live in New York City.
Hunting has been a popular American pastime for centuries. However, today's hunters are less common than ever. According to the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (FWS), only 2 percent of the population hunts regularly. Young adults are even less likely to hunt regularly.
Hunting is still popular among older generations, even though it may seem old-fashioned. A recent survey revealed that 68% of baby boomers want to hunt again once they retire. Hunting is a way for them to connect with the natural world and enjoy the outdoors.
For younger generations hunting is not necessarily a priority. According to the National Shooting Sports Foundation only 18% of millennials consider themselves avid hunters.
FWS is committed to ensuring that America's wild areas remain accessible for all.
In 2014, the agency started the "Wild Lands” initiative to raise awareness about the importance of public lands. Its goal is to raise awareness about the importance these areas have and to encourage people to go to them.
The Wild Lands initiative encourages conservation efforts. One example is the partnership between FWS and the National Rifle Association to create a youth shooting sports program called Project Gunter. This program teaches children safety with firearms and helps develop skills like marksmanship, safety, and shooting.
Project Gunter is now expanding to women and minorities. As a result, more children are learning how to shoot guns and become active participants in wildlife conservation.

How to hunt wild Hogs
Large animals, wild hogs can be found across North America, Africa and Asia. Wild hogs can eat small animals and plants, including birds, insects and rabbits. They usually feed at night. One piglet is born after the gestation period of approximately six months. A sow has one child every two years. Although wild hogs are usually solitary, they can sometimes live in groups called herds.
Wild boars weigh in at around 200 pounds (90 kg). Their head length is between 10 and 12 inches (25-30cm), while their body length is between 20 and 30 inches (50-60cm). Wild pigs tend to have long legs, wide shoulders, and short tails. They have a thick layer of fat under their skin.
They have excellent senses of smell and hearing. They use these senses to detect danger and find food. They can run upto 35 miles an hour (56 km/h), and can jump up to 15 feet (4m) in a single bound. They have sharp teeth and claws. They can be aggressive in defending themselves from predators.
Hunting wild hogs are difficult because they are fast, intelligent, and elusive. Hunters must stalk them carefully. Hunters should not shoot too quickly. The animal might escape. Hunting too early can cause the animal to escape.
There are many ways to hunt wild hogs. The most commonly used method is shooting. This requires hunters to locate the animal and wait for it to arrive in range. Trapping is another method. Setting traps near water sources is another method of trapping. A trap may contain a scent lure such as peanut butter and corn meal. After the trap is set, the hunter kills the trapped porc.
Snaring is another option. Snaring involves using a noose made of rope to catch the porc. It works best if the pig is caught during its mating season.
Other options include poisoning or spearing. Netting and spearing involve placing a net or spear through the pig's neck to stop its breathing. Poisoning refers to injecting poison in the pig's neck.
