RE: 10 years from now
I think droughts will hurt out west just as much as anything. Many areas just arent getting the consistent rain they need it seems.
The wolves aren't the problem, it's the inability to manage them along with other game animals on a state level, remove the federal protection and the problem will be solved.
I think land access will only be harder and harder to acquire back east here. Equipment won't change all that much IMO, but they will market it as so regardless. The speeds on a 70# 30" IBO setup are near their peaks already.
