Well, Denny, the way I see it is that the new generation of hunters ( if there is going to be one thanks to video games, computers and instant gratification ) will look back and wonder how these numbers got established, and start the cycle all over again.
It's a good bit like being a little older and seeing some of the same articles appear in hunting and shooting mags that we read with interest when we were younger. Also, remember the old caveat.."The acorn doesn't usually fall far from the tree". Such is life.......
