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.
Like our Largest Standing Army graphic? You are welcome to share it on your own websites, blogs and social media. We know it will get the freedom hating pacifist worked up and hey, isn’t that the point.

It’s a hell of alot easier to sneak up on a person or hide from a person than it is an animal so let that sink in tim
I have to disagree with you about Russia, in fact if we ever went to war against our own Government from those in the Russian Military that I have trained with tell me that they train to arm and provide aid to Americans fighting off our own government if it become abusive, As far as technology, it didn’t do much good in the war in Vietnam and in Afghanistan against primitive fighters with homemade ammo and taped together rifles. Technology does help but good old fashioned fighting skills will always win in the end. As far as hunters ?, I… Read more »
Yes, the US number is highly subjective / and comforting at the same time; and does not include all gun owners, legal or otherwise. I don’t think we will necessarily be invaded because of the high number of guns in our country. That was the hope and intent of the 2nd amendment. At the time of our founding fathers however, modern technology was non existent. My greatest fear and concern in not an invasion because we do have guns… but the greatest threat and fear is from bombings. Nuclear, atomic, chemical, biological and so on. I believe that this will… Read more »
Thank you ammoland for validating something I have been saying for quite some time.
I use the math of III% of the US population equaling about 10 million Americans. Of which the UN has said we own 46% of all the guns on the planet. Glad to see I have been conservative in my estimates for potential HANSOBS.
Looking at the numbers, it reminds me of a saying attributed to Winston Churchill. He said that if the Germans defeated the American Army and invaded the USA, then the Germans would have
a fight door-to-door since so many Americans were armed. (Sorry that I could find the exact quote, but hopefully you will forgive me.)

Where can I get the numbers used to make up the state by state map?
Not taken into consideration are the big guns, artillery, mortars, RPG’s, tanks, war planes, naval ships, etc. These are all in the hands of our Military, our government. And we don’t know how many of our military would side with those of us when SHTF. For the last 7 plus years I’ve been waiting and hoping for a military coup because what’s happened in those 7 plus years is just not right. That SOB has steered this Country so far to the left that I’m not sure we can get it back on track. But try we must. But we… Read more »
I am in no way comfortable and nor do I think I would ever be ready to take on anything that comes my way, in fact I prepare for the best and expect the worst. however I would try the best I could to save others and survive and thats all I can do.
I have to agree with you on the .22, a well placed shot in a counter sniper scenario, the .22 can be very effective. Many of us under estimate the old .22 but it has been the preferred caliber of many Hit men and assassins for many years.
