In 1970 there were 40 million licensed hunters in the U.S. In 2020 there were 12.6 million. That seems to be quite a decline. Don't know specifics about North Carolina but it's reasonable to assume they are in the same boat as everyone else. I know we've witnessed a big decline here. Used to have over a million deer hunters, now it's less than 700,000.
