! = small samples size (45 or less)
* = sample size too small to report reliably (25 or less)
NOTE: The U.S. total does not equal the sum of state data as economic activity across state borders are not included in the state totals, in addition to other factors.
NOTE: The expenditures reported above are greater than those reported by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Sportsmen often attributed purchases to both fishing and hunting (especially vehicles and big-ticket items). These items were not included in the Service's fishing expenditure estimates.
Such items were included above by prorating each item's cost based on each respondent's total days of hunting and fishing activity.
