I was wondering how many Generation "X"ers are turkey hunters. I'm talking about ages under 30. I'm 25 and killed my first gobbler some 12 years ago. But it's getting harder and harder to find hunters my age. Many of the guys I hunted with growing up don't hunt at all now. This will become a problem in the future as hunter numbers decline and we lose voters to support wildlife conservation.
X'ers are often looked at negatively by hunting elders as well. I noticed this duck hunting at a personal level. The run and gun style of a new breed of hunters, myself included, sometimes rubs the old schoolers the wrong way. I am not an unethical hunter, nor do I disrespect other hunters, but it seems like my generation catches some heat when it comes to a more aggressive style of hunting. Any opinions?
