old timers quitting........not many new people starting.......lack of deer last year in many areas.........ya i can see sales being down.........noone gets kids interested in hunting anymore........its kind of a dying sport slowly.........kinda sad to say.....but it slowly is.........so theres oldtimers quitting and not any newcomers to replace them.........and the guys that hunt areas where the deer herd is smaller then it used to be...so after last year that figured why bother to spend 30 bucks to sit in the woods one day and look at a few trees all day and freeze??..........my thoughts on it..........id say its very possible.....but no real numbers.........i can just see it being true
