Dal, I think "lack of hunting enthusiasm" is directly tied to the Left's efforts to vilify gun ownership and hunting. It's not the only thing....participation by kids in all outdoor activities is down as people have allowed electronic screens to do their parenting for them.

I'm just in process of organizing 4 people to take their PAL/RPAL course in April as the first step to getting them afield. All adults, all with a latent interest for many years but the hurdles have put them off. That is no accident.
