Hunters kill 130 million animals in the US every year. These include:

35 million mourning doves

26 million squirrels

12 million quail

13 million rabbits

16 million ducks

6 million deer

In a 1995 Associated Press survey,
51 percent agreed that it is always wrong
to hunt an animal for sport.

Up to 50 percent of deer struck with arrows by archery hunters are not recovered but left to die in the woods.

Considering all expenses, deer hunting costs
about $25 per pound of meat

Recreational hunting is allowed on more than half of all
550 units of the National Wildlife Refuge System
