[QUOTE="MidTennFisher, post: 5866049, member: 11842"] I embarrassingly admit that I used to believe hunter numbers were down but not in the last few years. Propaganda works but eventually I saw through it. The best thing we can do is use our wallet. I won't buy camo anymore from companies using influencers. Instead I spent a lot more with Gulch Gear because they don't participate in that crap. I left NWTF and won't give them a cent until they quit with the recruitment. Same with DU. Same with BHA. And the wilderness hike thing is really a shame too. I've read and listened to so many accounts of people who used to enjoy these remote destination hikes that lead to some spectacular waterfall or summit view. Then the Instagram influencers found out about it, documented the whole hike, plastered it on every social media outlet available so they could get paid from ads, and now you go to those places on a Saturday and it's a crowded as a football stadium.
