[QUOTE="donner, post: 3096510, member: 277"] respectfully, i think that your experience could be true for pockets of places, while there still being an overall decline. And from what i've heard, it extends to other things like golf. Specialty locations, specialty equipment, high costs of entry, etc are all affecting interest in these sorts of things. If you're from the city, and don't have a family member to go hunting with, the likelihood you get into the sport is slim. Whereas if you live in a location with access to good hunting and have been raised with it in your background, you're probably more likely to participate. Hunting isn't something most people just decide to pickup. I know a guy who grew up in south carolina and loves to deer hunt. But he lives in Southern California and doesn't have easy enough access to land/ time to go. So for him, he isn't buying a hunting license or taking his step son to hunt very often. [/QUOTE]
