Abstract: Mississippi is largely agricultural with access to many watersheds, the combination of which makes the state attractive to hunters and fishermen. This paper investigates the impact of hunting/fishing on the sales tax revenue in the counties of Mississippi. Our results indicate that a 1% increase in the non-resident hunting/fishing license sold increases tax revenue by $14,535.65 per county on average.
