I couldn't disagree more.I started hunting in 1980.Back then,you were allowed one deer.If you were a bowhunter and you killed a deer,you were done.If you were a flintlock hunter,you had to hunt ion SGL's.I never saw a bear all through the 80's and saw few turkeys.There were deer and while I neverhad a problem killing one,it was rare to see one bigger than a basket rack 6 point.

Let's see.Today,I have thousands and thousands of acres of public ground to hunt,with relatively little pressure.Over the past 7 years,I've been on hand when well over a dozen bears have been harvested.I've killed a gobbler ever year except this past spring since about 1993 as well as a bunch of fall birds.Every year I kill multiple deer on public landand get to pursuethem from the first week of october until January,including the rut.I've killed a buck every year since I was 12 except one but I haven't killed a 1.5 year old buck in about 10 years.

Yep it sure does suck.I guess it's all just a matter of perspective.
