While I tend to agree with most you posted I for 1 surely cannot dismiss lack of quarry as part of the numbers tumble. In my extended family about 50% ofthem hunt only deer and of that group some have called it quits this pastseason. Not all of them are 55yrs old + a few were under 20..their reason is they're just tired ofseeing so few deer....note I said seeing few,not killing any. No problem for them to hunt a wk straight when they see deer,but boring when seeing so few.
