Economic Impact of Fishing and Hunting in Texas
2.6 million resident sportsmen in Texas spent $18 million a day for an annual total of $6.6 billion.
The 2.6 million resident sportsmen in Texas were responsible for adding $3.5 billion in salaries and wages. They also added $793 million in federal taxes as well as $654 million in state and local taxes. The money spent by these sportsmen in Texas also adds a ripple effect in the Texas economy of $11.6 billion.
How do Texas sportsmen rank amongst those of other states in relationship to the economic impact that they create? There were 2.6 million resident sportsmen in the state of Texas and this puts Texas 1st in the nation for total resident sportsmen. This total number of resident sportsmen can further be broken down into resident anglers of which there were 2.3 million and resident hunters, of which there were 979,000. These totals put Texas in 1st in the nation for resident anglers and 1st in the nation for resident hunters. The sportsmen who were both hunters and anglers were not counted twice in the total number of sportsmen for the state. There were also 218,000 non-resident anglers, which ranks Texas 10th in the nation and 123,000 non-resident hunters, which put Texas 3rd in the nation.
How does the $6.6 billion spent by sportsmen in Texas break down? In 2020, fishing in Texas brought in $4.2 billion and placed Texas 2nd in the nation. Hunting during this year in Texas brought in $2.3 billion and placed Texas 1st in the nation. The combination of money spent by both anglers and hunters placed Texas 1st in the nation.
Not only does spending done by the sportsmen in Texas add to the economy of the state, these sportsmen and their sports add jobs throughout the state. There were 106,000 jobs related to hunting and fishing in 2020, with 59,000 being fishing related jobs and 47,000 being hunting related jobs. This total of jobs related to hunting and fishing put Texas 1st in the nation, with fishing placing Texas 2nd in the nation and hunting placing Texas 1st in the nation.
These figures and rankings, which accumulated from sportsmen in Texas spending a total of 13.4 million days afield, which puts Texas 2nd in the nation and 38.9 million days on the water, which puts Texas 2nd in the nation, clearly shows the economic impact that fishing and hunting have in Texas.
