By the time you get to forty, it can be the lone hunter who hunts.
Maybe you'll find one hunter in the new neighborhood. Maybe none in a crowded metro area.
Met a man in his eighties. He neither hunted or fished. Did neither since he was eighteen. The demise of hunters varies. But each young hunter has a problem to face. It's not always easy to stay a hunter.
