I think we have definitely changed from 40 years ago….
Let’s look at young hunters >>>>>
How many young hunters even start out today with a rifle with open sites? My guess less than 10%
Do they learn on a compass first then graduate to a GPS? Again I’d guess 10%
Do they go to all the brand name stores looking for Wool… less than 1% maybe none lets face it they want what ever they see worn on the tube… sorry…flat screenJ
….how many learn to still hunt before they have ever been in a climber?
Wow this is fun…we could go on I’m sure.
I’m not knocking any young hunter by any means and I would like to see them carry the tradition. But the way I see it we changed big time. Doesn’t mean anyone who has been hunting even 15 years is a better hunter…we have just succumbed to advertising
