ADWFF is Funded by Hunters and Anglers

ADWFF is funded by hunting and fishing license revenue and Federal Aid in Wildlife and Sportfish Restoration Acts funds.
Wildlife conservation is funded by the Federal Aid in Wildlife Restoration Act, popularly know as the Pittman-Robertson (P-R) Act. This Act was approved by Congress on September 2, 1937.
The P-R Act provides funding for the restoration, rehabilitation and improvement of wildlife habitat, management, research, and the distribution of information produced by the projects. The P-R Act was
amended October 23, 1970 to include funding for hunter education training programs and the development, operation, and maintenance of public shooting ranges.
Funds are derived from an 11 percent Federal excise tax on sporting arms, ammunition and archery equipment, and a 10 percent tax on handguns. These funds are collected from the manufacturers
by the U.S. Department of the Treasury and apportioned each year to the States and Territorial areas by the USFWS. The number of hunting licenses sold helps determine the amount of money states can
receive. State wildlife agencies are the only entities eligible to receive grant funds. Funds for hunter education and shooting ranges are derived from one-half of the tax on handguns and archery equipment.
Alabamas Sportsmens Contributions

No state general fund monies are used for wildlife conservation in Alabama. Wildlife
Conservation is not funded by state tax dollars. Hunters pay for wildlife conservation in
Alabama through hunting license fees. Not everyone helps fund wildlife conservation
but everyone benefits. These figures represent the annual importance of hunting and
wildlife viewing in Alabama.

391,000 participants hunt in Alabama.

Alabama wildlife watchers include 1,006,000 participants.

Approximately 8,648,000 days are spent hunting in Alabama.

Economic impact of hunting in Alabama totals $1.4 billion.
