Indiana's 822,000 hunters and fishermen appear to be shelling out big bucks to bring home the game.
A new report produced by the Congressional Sportsmen's Foundation says that all those Hoosier sportsmen and women spend more than $1 billion a year on their pastimes.
That might sound like quite a sum, but Indiiana ranks only 26th nationally in hunting and fishing spending, according to the report.
Texas was Number 1 with $6.6 billion and last was Hawaii at $154 million......Guess it's tough to beat surfing.
