The state has easily doubled the amount of money it makes a year based off of hunting and the hunting industry since the 80s and 90s and your telling me that its because of less people contributing more money? I doubt that.
How can you compare now to the 80s and 90s? Merchandise prices have more than doubled, and there's waayyyy more hunting related chit and gimmicks on the market now than there ever was. Hell i only owned one pair (only camo i had besides a pair of jeans) of camo coveralls in the mid 90s, now i own dozens of camo related clothes and purchase (I spend a butt load more than i ever did also) more every year. The Deer Hunting industry is a total different animal now than it was in the 80s and 90s...
