Title: How much revenue does elk hunting bring into the northwest?
Post by: johnnyhammersticks on April 26, 2011, 06:33:31 PM: I am writing a paper for one of my forestry classes about the impact that wolves are having on elk populations and was wondering if anyone had some approximate numbers on the amount of revenue brought in by elk hunting in any given state in the northwest? I've looked around online and can't find much and figured someone on here might have at least a general idea?

Thanks

If this is college level than I really recommend you take a course on library or online research. This was way to easy to find. Yes, be happy I am not your instructor :hello:

To be honest I didn't look real hard for that information and decided to use some proactive procrastination on this site to see if anyone knew where i could find some numbers. Thanks again for the help!
