I guess making rash and emotional decisions about guns creating an anti-gun culture, along with stripping public hunting land availability (especially east of the Mississippi) is hurting states....
I wonder sometimes. I hunt a lot, I mean A LOT, across multiple states every year. I see nothing but crowds whether I'm hunting waterfowl, deer, elk, small game or other various critters.
That's funny. According to the US Fish And Wildlife Service There were 35,900,913 Total Hunting License, Tags, Permits & Stamps sold last year. That's 35 MILLION+
Yeah, i was gonna say, more hunters. Maybe the percentage is down, but not numbers. I run into a lot of hispanic people hunting now. Only bad thing about that is the trash thats left behind. I got on some guy’s case recently about it. Littering closes more public land than anything else. Boils my blood. I always leave the land cleaner than when i showed up. Picked up some shells and boxes on my way out last time.
