Hunters: The Organizations and People Behind American Hunting
Hunters are one of the largest groups of gun owners in the United States and have long been central to wildlife conservation. Since the Pittman-Robertson Act of 1937, an excise tax on firearms and ammunition paid by hunters and shooters has funded state wildlife agencies, and hunter-backed nonprofits have helped restore species such as elk, wild turkey and whitetail deer.
