11-percent more Americans fished and 9-percent more hunted in 2011 over 2006, according to a new 5-year survey out by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The kids are participating more, too. Of kids ages 6 to 15, 13 percent more hunted and 2 percent more fished. It's the first positive shift in hunting and fishing in 20 years.
