I hear you, Cardeer.... It is a sad thing to see. [:'(]
I know I'm a "late bloomer" to hunting and stuff, but I remember my dad and uncles and some of their friends talk about hunting back in the 50's and 60's and the way things used to be. You could just walk out your back door, anywhere you wanted to go, and hunt undisturbed for anything you wanted 24/7 (yes, even SUNDAYS {still a sore topic with me [:@]} ).
Hunt clubs are all over the place nowadays. And it's to the point where if you are
NOT in a club, then you have to fend for yourself on the public lands (WMA's, game management areas, and/or whatever each state calls them), and deal with 9000 other hunters!
