Default next generation of hunters

A sad comment from my son. My 11 year old got his first deer yesterday while playing hookey from school with me. I asked him if he was going to take the pictures to school to show his friends. His reply was very disturbing, he said he didn't know anyone at school who like hunting. Granted we do live in a Atlanta suburb but Dang when I was 11 growing up in North Mississippi hunting was bigger than college football is now. I remember huge pancake breakfasts at the National Guard Armory at 5am on opening morning and bragging about my first deer for weeks to anyone who would listen. Please someone tell me its still like that in the smaller rural areas. If this is not just a product of living in the "big city" where is hunting headed in the future where will the next generation of hunters come from and will the growing non-hunting population support hunting the future?????
