With Baby boomers hitting retirement and inheriting money, I don't see huntingslowing down anytime soon. Land value will continue to rise and outfitters will continue to pop up. My dad and his friends are starting to do more and more hunting around the country as they inch closer to retirement. I think this will becomemore of a trend then a fad.
if you're right about increasing costs, and in the short term you may be, hunting will become cost prohibitive. only the wealthy will be able to afford it, hunter numbers will decline as will demand.
you're a young guy, if you're not wealthy or stand to inherit some property you may one day find yourself priced out.
