Damn, I just read the article. He makes a lot of sense, in some ways. I do agree that the media-TV, Youtube, Facebook have made the industry see increased hunters all for the pagentry of doing it. Many people have made millions last 10-20 years off this platform. Hell, I started watching Phil Robertson on a vhs tape. Willie just came along and capitalized on what Phil had going. My Son and I had a conversation last night about this very thing. I asked him how many millions of dollars was lost this year because there were not ducks in the east half of the US. I think a ton was but he disagreed. He said people still npught clothes, accessories, guns etc but boats sales suffered. He guided in OK for a month this year and has a pretty good pulse on market. We used to hop from farm ponds, swamps, rivers etc to try an not shoot out a place. Does not matter now if the ducks never get here. It is real depressing to not be able to go and enjoy a hunt and actually see birds and kill a few.
