I think we're losing hunters because it has become so commercialised and it has made hunting very expensive.Lets face it hunting on public land is no picnic.lands like the wma and refuges make it almost not worth the effort. The leases have become almost too expensive for the average hunter and then they look down on other hunters who don't practice what thay do in regards to antler size.On one side of the mouth they hunt for the meat and pleasure of the hunt then from the other side of their mouth they saw we should not shoot anything but trophy bucks and doe management.Hunting deer is hunting deer wheather a trophy buck or a doe or a smaller buck.Don't get me wrong I get way more excited by large headgear,but don't blast me for shooting lesser deer because I get a thrill from that also.
