I'll tell you what happened... innovation, dipping license sales, laziness, old age.

Next year, license sales may, for the first time in ages, dip below 1 Million. People are getting old, quitting and dying. PGC is grabbing at straws trying to cut its losses. Increased success rates make repeat-license buyers. In-lines generate muzzle-loader stamp sales. Sunday hunting doubles the number of days in the woods for weekend warriors.

Food plots and ATV's have become the lazy man's tools.

We may not like it, but the status quo is probably here to stay. In the future, expect to see increasing heat for Sunday hunting, crossbows, late season in-lines, more youth hunts, etc.

Money talks, and in Pennsylvania, it's screaming.
