[QUOTE="DMD, post: 5838017, member: 2937"] I didn't listen to any of the above, but the posts on this thread raised my antenna. I think about this quandary often. I, selfishly, wish I was the only person in America who hunted. Lol. And, a part of me gets frustrated with the attitude of people constantly trying to recruit new hunters. Land access in parts of Tennessee is dwindling fast. Heck, I remember when you could find a tracts of private land to hunt free, and 10s of thousands of acres of land company land everywhere. Not so much anymore. So, why do I want to recruit more competition, when our resources and opportunities are dwindling. There are plenty of deer but less and less land to hunt. BUT....I also know this - the ONLY thing keeping hunting legal is the number of hunters. The public attitude towards hunting and hunters is swiftly trending against us. Between Hollywood, slob hunters ( who turn the average citizen against hunters), and social media (where people can find other anti hunters and work together) - we are facing an inevitable tidal wave of anti hunting and anti hunter attitude. The only way to fight that is with maintaining and increasing numbers of hunters. So, what are we to do? [/QUOTE]
