[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5626976, member: 1409"] [B]Perhaps a bigger question is why are so few younger people getting into "sport" deer hunting?[/B] There is no one answer to this question, but there are many which have occurred in cahoots. The end result is that . . . . . . As the older generations (more of which are hunters) die out, the younger generations are not replacing either the number of hunters or the amount of annual hunting per hunter. "Sport" deer hunting would be more for the purpose of seeking antlers than venison, albeit perhaps a majority of "sport" deer hunters eat their venison. There now may be more hunter recruitment for the primary purpose of obtaining free-range, organic meat than for the camaraderie of hunting camps and seeking large antlered bucks. Most of these "hunters" can get what they want from their back porches, or simply "hunting" on a nearby friend's property. They don't need and are not willing to pay for a hunting "lease", especially one a long drive away. The sky hasn't fallen yet on "sport" deer hunting, but this is how I see things "trending".
