Tennessee Hunting and Fishing License (1999 - 2003)

These are the figures for Tennessee Type: 01 (Resident Hunting* and Fishing)
*Small Game Only

1999: 101,693
2000: 413,427
2001: 415,023
2002: 400,719
2003: 392,976

For some reason, there was a huge jump between 1999 and 2000, another rise
for 2001 before slightly declining for the past couple of years.

Resident Youth Type: 02 (Hunt/Fish/Trap) Under 16 Years of age.

1999: 12,713
2000: 32,706
2001: 34,626
2002: 33,268
2003: 34,206

This one is remaining steady

Resident Sportsman Type: 03/04 Lifetime

1999: 17,175
2000: 59,221
2001: 62,026
2002: 64,165
2003: 64,691

Still rising!

Maybe... just maybe there are less annual licenses being sold because more
lifetime licenses are being sold? This is just a theory. At any rate, there
doesn't seem to be a real decline in fishing in Tennessee, especially when
you look at the Youth group and the Sportsmans group. I feel like the totals
for 1999 are a little inaccurate, but this is the figures that I received
from the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency.

Charles, something just doesn't seem right about those increases from 1999
to 2000. There seems to have to be some explanation, as that just doesn't
seem like normal year-to-year activity. I don't profess to know anything
about the hunting and fishing situation in TN (or NY, for that matter), but
it would seem there's got to be some extenuating circumstance to cause that
300% jump.

I think so too. But, this is suppose to be complete from the TWRA. I'm going
to delve a little further into it to see what I canb find out about the 1999
numbers.

There's got to be a typo in there somewhere. We have been selling licenses for
years and never noticed a major change from one year to another.
