Here are some cool charts and graphs from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service survey I mentioned in my last post. Turns out I'm in:
- The minority, by gender, as a female
- The plurality, by age, as a 42-year-old
- A tie for third out of five education-level groups, as a four-year-degree holder (the percentage who are four-year-degree holders is the same as the percentage who didn't finish high school)
- The vast majority by race - white
- A confusing position as a big city-dweller, living in a population 1 million-plus "metropolitan statistical area." We constitute the second-largest group of hunters, but that's by virtue of how many city-dwellers there are. In terms of the percentage of the population that hunts, big cities have the lowest.
- The .... oh, hell, I'm not gonna talk about my income.
Check out the charts below - taken straight from the report - and see where you fit!

I also hav a 4 year degree so we ahev a lot in common. I have three blogs. Stop on over. I will check back here often!
You have a great blog going and hopefully with get lots of women traffic. I do not hunt, I just make fun of my hunting husband's ways.
Thanks, to both of you!
Jody, that's been the hard part of taking up the gun. Now instead of laughing at my boyfriend, I have to laugh at myself.
Not a bad way to live, actually!
