I am not sure what the numbers say, but I sure do know the educational value of the hunters has diminished, at least based upon what I have experienced.
When I was growing up, people had more respect for other land owners... and they shot deer, but it was not such a 'commercial' ordeal to the individual.
I know the 'person' west of us was bragging about how he shot 12 deer last year.......on his 102 acres...
Not sure where it all went wrong, nor do I see where anyone needs that many freaking deer.

Hunting is easy..it's getting permission from your wife that is tough.

When I see how low the numbers were back in the 50s it makes me wonder how many "good ole country boys" bought them back then? A license wasn't required to hunt on your own property back then.
Silver spurs and gold tequila keep me hanging on. Pretty girls and old cantinas give me shelter from the storm.

Finding a place to hunt can also be expensive. Virtually every huntable ranch is leased to outfitters or hunters, and they don't come cheap. You can expect to pay several thousand dollars for an elk or mule deer hunt in prime country.Access problems aren't just confined to big-game lands in the Test. Finding a place to hunt practically anywhere in America is more difficult each year. Urban dwellers are buying rural properties, looking for their "little slice of heaven," and they typically slap up posted signs.
