there are a host of other things that kids can do nowdays as compared to 20 or 50 years ago. now, we have soccer, other scholastic activities, plus the amount of homework these days is much more than it was a few decades ago.

i graduated h.s. in 85, i was a sophomore the first time i had homework. now, kids in 4th grade have homework.

parents are working more, and working more irregular hours.

habitat and places to hunt are being lost.

traditions aren' t being passed on like they used to.

take a kid hunting. a kid who otherwise would have no other opportunity to go hunting. when we are too old to go, these kids will be voting and can keep this whole thing going.
