HuntingNet.com Forums - Heard a sad statistic on young hunters

I am 22, and have been hunting ever since I can remember, although I live in a small, relatively rural community. I take it for granted but had thousands of acres of national forest land at my fingertips, along with my dads land, and MOST everyone in our school hunted and fished! Here are a couple problems I can see or have encountered, maybe some will agree, maybe some wont.
1. Land access. I am a senior in college at UW-Stevens Point, and I couldnt beleive how many kids here hunt and fish, which was totally the opposite of UW-Madison where I transferred from. Ironically the amount of public land around SP is extremely small, you have to travel 1/2 hour to find any meaningful land.
Not only that, but young kids USED to be able to ride four whellers to go hunting, now the DNR is SO strict about where you can ride, age, rider, registration it deters TONS of kids from going hunting and fishing. Unfortunately access to land, to hunt is dwindling all of the time.
2. Sports, and how much coaches demand from training, practicing, and playing. I played 3 sports in high school, and it was VERY difficult to get out to hunt. COmbined with the practices, mandatory lifting weihts, etc. it was tough to get in the woods or on the lakes.
3. The Price to play along with the number of hours parents and kids are working. The licenses are high, the fines are high, the gear is high, it cost a lot of $$$$$ to hunt or fish. Couple this with the MAJORITY of young kids working part time jobs makes it hard for kids to get out in the outdoors. Also, add the increasing hours working adults must work, and the time both parent and kid have to get out in the outdoors is getting smaller than in the past. WE work longer, harder, and more days.
Just a few thoughts anyway....
