getting tougher and tougher to get the youngsters out .
why go out in the cold and work for a real trophy when they can stay home and shoot much bigger bucks on their video games with no effort.
haven't given up trying but I think most kids today are already a lost cause.
on top of them being lazy ,hunting has been commercialized and it's getting worst every year. most people used to hunt for sustenance . not so anymore. now for the majority it is about sport . don't think there is anything wrong with that ,just saying it is no longer needed for survival, in most cases. more often then not ,it's cheaper to buy a beef then to go hunt . sure ,it's no where near the fun but let's face it MOST under 30 are to lazy to hold a job and to broke to afford to go hunting unless someone else pays their way.
then we have the anti everything crowd trying to ban anything that has to do with guns, hunting , self defense and anything that has to do with self accountability and pulling your own weight.
hunting in the US is much like the US itself. doomed!
