[QUOTE="BSK, post: 5669504, member: 17"] The plethora of knowledge now available on the internet may be the biggest change in hunting. I remember when I first got into deer hunting, and my unquenchable desire to learn everything I could about deer and deer hunting lead me to realize there wasn't any good information on deer and deer hunting. I read every issue [I]Field and Stream[/I] and [I]Outdoor Life[/I] cover to cover, and it didn't take me long to realize most of what was written there was garbage. That lead me to seeking out scientific data on deer. It was very hard to find, and mostly limited to State Wildlife Agency research, which wasn't much help. It wasn't until the "newer" crop of private land managers and biologists began to publish their research, and organizations like the QDMA and their publication of [I]Quality Whitetails,[/I] that good science-backed info became available to the hunting public. And I gobbled that stuff up. And now look at where we are. I can go on YouTube and find more hunting and management information in 10 minutes than I could have found in 10 years in the 70s and 80s. Unfortunately, I just wish more of it was good, accurate information! We seem to be at a point of overload of marginal-quality information. But at least it's better than what we were getting in the 2000s from the hunting shows on TV. [/QUOTE]
