[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5540713, member: 1409"] As an aside, I've been in one of the better "trophy" TN deer hunting leases (or hunt clubs) for now decades. The average member is about 64 years old. This past deer season, more club members than ever before, did not go deer hunting a single time, and even the younger members didn't hunt as much as the prior year. "Life" just seems to get in the way, more other things compete with deer hunting opportunities. My own best long-term hunting buddy, didn't hunt a single time, the past two years, yet he had stayed in the hunting club, "just in case" he might go again. But he didn't & he hasn't, nor will he be staying in the hunting club. We hunters are simply dying out faster than we're being replaced by younger hunters, especially younger hunters who could afford to pay the now too high hunting lease rates. And like I've said, my passion is still there, but, with many my long-term friends giving it up, it makes me more inclined to just hunt closer to the house, and less myself. Pretty "easy" to just get a deer or two for the freezer. [/QUOTE]
