bob I really feel it is the migration to the cities and suburbs that have brought this about, I like many others was raised with the outdoors as my playground, I saw wildlife all the time I was growing up, I started fishing when I was old enough to hold a rod and started hunting squirrel at about age 7. I really feel that many of our youth have lost the connection with the outdoors, not due to video games or TV, but due to being isolated from the outdoors due to where they live.
