IMHO I think you're painting your indictment against hunters with a very wide brush.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Not all hunters view hunting or why they do it in the same manner. My opinions are based on my experiences, and at no point did I say anything about ALL hunters being guilty, because they aren't. But that does not mean that those that are guilty are not causing a real problem.

With hunting season just around the corner, I am hoping for a massive increase in hunter numbers in every State except here in Idaho, where I hope the numbers plummet to an all time low.

I agree that a lot of it has to do with time constraints, money, etc.

But I made a promise to myself a long time ago. I would take two people who might not ever otherwise hunt and get them into it. I have done that and am proud of the fact.

If each one of us did that, we wouldn't be having this conversation.
