Looking back at the wall of photos in our club, I've often found myself looking at the members standing there smiling, laughing, joking around, and wondering, "was it better hunting that made these hunters so happy, or was it something else?" Do numbers really make or break the experience? Would these same hunters if alive today be judgemental of one's weapon choice, or season length?
You can bet your last dollar that those hunters were just as judgemental as to days hunters. The opposition to doe seasons was much stronger in the 50's than it is today because the hunters at that time were much les informed than the hunters of today. The reason so many hunting camps are empty today is because there aren't enugh der to make their hunting experience enjoyable and rewarding base on todays standards. Just as todays hunters wouldn;t be happy with a model A Ford pickup compared to a new Ford 4X4.
