Re: Number of Hunters Falls, Worrying Some

Our Wedding is Nov 10, so that pretty much ruins my Deer season opener.


Yikes man! :shock:


Did no one ever sit you down and tell you that you NEVER get married in November?

You haven't just ruined your "Deer Season Opener", you have ruined your "DSO" forever! Its called an anniversary.

Yup, I'd say your deer hunting is pretty much over. :sad:

One rift involves hunters disenchanted with the National Rifle Association, which runs major hunting programs and lobbies vigorously against gun control. A Maryland hunter, Ray Schoenke, has formed a new group, the American Hunters and Shooters Association, primarily as a home for hunters who would support some restrictions on gun and ammunition sales.

"The NRA's extreme positions have hurt the hunting movement," Schoenke said. "Soccer moms now believe hunters have made things more dangerous."

Saw the same article printed in our local (news?) paper.

Of more concern to me... was the drop in number of hunters over the last 10 years. This is probably true of most shooting sports as well.

The article suggested (hunting) was on the decline because of urbanization gobbling up hunting lands.

I personally believe it has more to do with an aging hunter base dropping out....and a new generation of kids more interested in video games than doing anything outdoors.
