Sounds like a lot of excuses to me: too many ATV's, road hunters, ambushers, etc. You can say the same thing about seeing all the Viagra, feminine products and overactive bladder commercials on TV, drive by shootings, drugs on every street corner, etc. There's still plenty of territory where you can get out with that old sporterized Jap rifle or with your dad's Remington 14, IF YOU WANT TO. Put on an old Woolrich deer hunting outfit, and step back 50 years while you wile away the day watching a nice crossing, or doing some still hunting. So what if you come across a guy in the latest fad tree stand complete with satellite TV feed? You're doing what you want to do. So many excuses, so little time left.....
