Yep. And Daniel Boone didn't have competition from several other hunters per square mile of land. Hunting today is far different from the old days in large part due to the huge amount of hunting pressure on most lands. The guys that try to compare hunting today to the way the old timers did it usually miss that point. The animals react differently where they're heavily pressured, and I don't think ol' Dan Boone had to deal with the intense pressure we face today.
