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 chagrin 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.

Don’t forget about the numerous numbers of gun owners who don’t hunt but will be willing to stand and fight. The NRA has some 5 million active members and former and retired military will add even more! Molon Labe!!!!!!
While many Americans are now becoming more comfortable with the idea of the “militia,” a lot of guys, especially in the states where everyone hunts and owns at least 5 or 6 guns, think that they’re ready for war against whoever comes along. This is true even if they’re not veterans! When you mention the need for “training” of one sort or another in order to be an effective fighting force, they laugh at you! “I can hit a deer/boar/elk/turkey, etc at 300 yards, no problem, what do I need “training” for?” This usually gets asked by someone with a… Read more »
It would be interesting to go farther to breakdown the ration of shotguns to actual battle rifles in these “standing armies. When armies “stand off” at 200 yards or more the standing army of the USA and its majority of shotguns would be lacking.
Bring it ISIS.
Most of the North Korean Active Army doesn’t even get bullets for training nor food. They are on starvation rations. Plus most of the equipment is now jury rigged due to not being able to make or get replacement parts.
On paper they look impressive but in actual combat most would fold like Iraq did not once but twice.
South Korea can call up to five million trained reservists within 24 hours.
