[QUOTE="Okie4570, post: 3096632, member: 15643"] I can definitely see a decline, both in my own area, as well as where I grew up. Somewhere the "need" to hunt for food ended, and the hunt for population control and enjoyment of outdoors began. I remember my dad telling me that he'd be given 6 .22lr shells on Saturday morning. One was for sighting in, one was for a miss, and the other four, if used should also result in four rabbits/squirrels lol. When we'd go plink around or go to the river to shoot turtles, he'd comment every time about burning through 250-500 rounds of .22lr just playing around, he just about couldn't take it lol. I know in my kid's classes, there's rarely another student that hunts or even fishes, and we're fairly rural. My sister still lives and teaches where I grew up, she says it's extremely rare to have a student interested in the outdoors. [/QUOTE]
