    Durability of legacy hunting camps

    I fully agree with you the cost for most all resident lic is CHEAP in the big picture but after also selling hunting lic for yrs, YES 100% there are folks that will STOP buying them if prices go up and also keep in mind, that when lic costs go up, so do all the other things besides a GENERAL...

    Durability of legacy hunting camps

    well rising lic fee's does effect how many stay in the sport and how many will join the sport! like it or not, money matters to most people, and if they don't feel something is worth the price and they can live without, many will stop buying! forcing the game depts to find income else where!

    Durability of legacy hunting camps

    I am NO expert on point systems, But from some of what I do know, most places that have point systems in place its either done due to setting limits on harvest or for more trophy related area's, for specific animals! so its has nothing really to do with Youth's getting involved and staying...

    Durability of legacy hunting camps

    safety is also why I gather BOW hunter numbers have held there own or have grown, as many places that USED to open for rifle/gun hunting, have now become archery or archery shotgun only area's which I gather a lot more places BOTH public and private will end up as human expansion keeps going!

    Durability of legacy hunting camps

    this is a IMO a loaded question, , as what one hunter wants another may not! so I am not answering it with my personal choice! but the sport in itself, is where hunter numbers matter most ! as once you stop getting NEW kids into the sport, it doesn;t matter HOW many OLD Hunters you have...

    Durability of legacy hunting camps
