“Take Heart, we are many and they are few.”..not so fast. Ask yourself, how many of these 12 million will truly stand UP to tyranny when the day comes? If we use the tried and true percentage of 3% (of 12.7 Million) then that only leaves 381,000 Armed Men. Out of those 381K, how many have taken the time to get actual training in how to fight with a weapon? I think 3% might be too optimistic a figure. Something to consider. -SF
Manasquan, NJ –-(Ammoland.com)- Fall hunting season is almost here and a fun annual topic of discussion around the campfires is always how large the U.S. population of hunters is?
And how does the number of U.S. hunters stack up against the largest standing armies in the world?
Much to the shagrin of anti-hunting forces across the USA, hunting numbers have remained steady over the last decade, even growing as more and more women get behind the gun and out in the field.
Check out our newest info-graphic on how American hunting forces stack up in size against the largest standing armies in the world.
Based on feedback, we have also included USA’s own standing army, and yeah we know there may be overlap between those two points of data, as a lot of our brave military is also active hunters, but this is fun facts, not life and death math.

3% is way too optimistic.
Yeah, which is why I think they should change their name to the 1 Percenters…it even has a better ring to it.
1% may not even be accurate,more like 1/2% from what I’ve seen over the past 10 years or so.
LOL, yeah you may be right. But just like John Mosby sais in “The Reluctant Partisan” books: depending on who rolls up on the civilian in that day will decide a great deal of the outcome: Will it be an Alfa Team of Spetsnaz attached to the UN Peacekeeping or a bunch of Redneck deer hunters trying to steal your generator gas? All Enemies are not cut from the same cloth, regardless of your numbers.
