Helmet on for the onslaught of rebuke I'll get for this (always do), but it's very simply a matter of supply and demand. When I hear people these days pleading about "we must get our children into hunting or we're gonna lose the sport" I bug my eyes out and burst into laughter!!! Everybody hunts, and all the land is leased.

Similarly, try taking your bass boat to any lake on a Saturday now. And the fishing isn't as good anywhere as it used to be because every fish has a dozen hook holes in it's lips and has been dragged to the other end of the lake in a livewell. It's pretty much the same with deer hunting....few people will say that hunting is as good today as it used to be.
