As for percentage of gun owners who hunt please keep in mind more than 1/2 of all tags sold for big game are for Archery. As for knowing those who aren't conservationists I think, based on my experience, it is very much a regional thing. People from back east don't have a strong a tie to conservation as most of their land isn't public land or land they have easy access to. Most hunting out east, and in Texas, is owning land or knowing someone who owns land. As you move further west most hunters use public land and they are more inclined to focus on conservation. Please keep in mind these are my observations having lived and hunted all over the US, it is by no means a sweeping detailed study.
