Alabama sportsmen out-number the combined population of Birmingham, Montgomery and Mobile: 707,000 vs 623,000. Remember... The majority of Alabama s recognized trophy bucks are from The Black Belt Region. Alabama has the highest population of wild turkeys per square mile than any other state. Statewide Hunters And Anglers Deliver Lots Of Bang For The Bucks!

5 In The Black Belt Region alone: 456,290 hunters & anglers spend $3,224,894 a day Total Economic Impact: Almost $1 Billion WOW! Total Spending $619 Million! Annual spending by Black Belt Region Sportsmen is more than Alabama s Catfish and Peanut industries produce each year ($900 million vs $972 million Direct/Indirect). Sportsman spending in The Black Belt Region credits an estimated 11,000 jobs in 2011 which equals 36% of the 30,500 jobs sportsmen created statewide. The 23 county Black Belt Region represents 1/3 of our state s counties, but more than 50% of Alabama hunting and fishing dollars are generated right here in The Black Belt Region. Based on recent research, out of the 74 hunting and fishing lodges found in Alabama, 59 are located in The Black Belt Region, representing 80% of the total. The Black Belt Delivers The Big Bucks!

6 Quick Facts to Remember Ab 456,290 sportsmen hunted and fished in The Black Belt Region in % of Alabama s commercial outfitters are located in The Black Belt Region.

Outdoorsmen spent 3.3 million days fishing and 3.9 million days hunting in The Black Belt Region. Number Of Days Residents and Non-Residents Hunted and Fished in The Black Belt Region. January through December, Survey provided by Southeast Research Group in Montgomery, Alabama.

7 out The Black Belt Region: Alabama s Black Belt has many outdoor recreational activities, perhaps none more enjoyable than playing one of our Robert Trent Jones Golf Courses found throughout the region. In addition to the world-renowned golf opportunities, we also offer first-class hotel accommodations such as the Renaissance Montgomery Hotel and Spa at the Convention Center. Whether you are planning a family vacation or a corporate retreat, Alabama s Black Belt Region has everything you re looking for to make your next trip a memorable one. Dr. David Bronner CEO RSA 8 out of 10 non-resident hunters and anglers stayed at least one night on trips to Alabama in The Black Belt Region. That is 242,228 non-resident lodgings.

8 Passive Recreation In T There is more to Historical Hiking Mountain Biking Canoeing do than just hunting and fishing! From historic Demopolis to Lake Eufaula with its grand antebellum homes... Cultural Birdwatching Field Trials Fishing Tournaments

9 he Black Belt Region: Alabama s Black Belt Region has a multitude of God-given natural resources from its rivers, lakes and streams to the more than 10 million acres primed for hunting, fishing, and all forms of outdoor recreation including golfing, hiking, mountain biking, canoeing and birdwatching. In addition to some of the finest commercial lodges in the country, the Black Belt Region is home to a number of state parks and public access areas for every Alabamian, as well as visitors. Alabama Black Belt Adventures is working hard to brand this region as a premier destination through the promotion and education of its natural assets. So, come see for yourself. You won t be disappointed. Robert Bentley Governor of Alabama and all across The Black Belt Region, Sporting Clay Tournaments our heritage and culture are unique to the Horseback Riding Food and Fun world! Golf

10 Hunters and Anglers: Hunters and Anglers are A Significant Voting Bloc... Their voting potential was 31% of all votes cast in the 2008 presidential election. 80% of sportsmen are likely voters... far more than the national average. Good guess they favor pro-sporting candidates! Americans spend more time hunting and fishing each year than days spent running the Federal Government million vs 486 million!

11 Some Fast Facts About Hunters and Anglers Nationwide Annually, hunters and anglers spend $9 billion to lease and purchase land for their sport. That s enough to purchase 27,000 new homes or rural acreage larger than the states of Rhode Island and Delaware combined. 34 million sportsmen spend $8.6 million an hour...or $208 million a day...or $1.5 billion per week! Federal excise taxes and state license revenues have helped bring back dozens of species from close to extinction. For example, in 1900 there were fewer than 100,000 wild turkeys nationwide...today there are over 7 million! If a single corporation grossed as much as anglers and hunters spend, it would be among America s 20 largest companies, ahead of Target, COSTCO, and A.T.&T. Direct/Indirect (the RIPPLE EFFECT) is $12 billion a year because of gasoline stations, feed stores, retailers, restaurants, hotels, and more. Federal Duck Stamps Hunters have generated over $700 million through purchases...all of which have gone into the National Wildlife Refuge System. Hunters Hunters spend $1,992 per hunter a year! Anglers Nationwide, 6 million more Americans wet a line over sinking a putt!
