Bowhunters of Utah

** This thread discusses the content article: Hunter Retention & Recruitment - Paddling against the current **

Does anyone have the actual numbers of youth hunting for each year? I am especially curious about Utah's numbers. Mathmatically it is possible for the numbers to actually be increasing but the overall percentage of youths participating in hunting declining especially in a state that has had such a high population increase. Percentage vs. actual numbers can be two different things. I wonder how that looks and what story that tells.
