I think Cardeer hit it on the head here in PA. I know quite a few other hunters that have decided to stop hunting because of similar reasons. And the state wonders why license purchasing is on a decline.
Wow.... That reminds me of two of my brothers-in-law back home in upstate NY. They both were big-time hunters back in the 70' s. They haven' t hunted in years, and have no desire to get back into it, no matter how much I ask. The laws changed for the worst, and most importantly, the land has changed and beautiful hunting properties have virtually disappeared. It' s the same with my dad and uncle. They were hunters back in the 50' s and 60' s too, and have since passed on, so they can' t see how hunting land is slowly disappearing little by little. [:' (]
