I 100% agree,being 38 myself and seeing the country up here devoid of young hunter's is discourageing to say the least,my kid's do however have an interest ...for now.
When I was younger we would get off school in the afternoon,grab a shotgun and shell's from behind the porch door,walk to/in the corner store with gun and shell's in hand to buy a lunch (coke,chip's & a bar)and the only response would be " what are you fella's goin hunting today ?".....try that today...sad ,sad state of affair's
