It's a prickly issue. On one hand, I can't blame landowners from making what they can. On the other hand, hunting becoming strictly a rich man's game is a fear of mine.
The lower the numbers of hunters get, the easier it is for animal rights groups to gain traction to ban it outright. For that reason, access is an issue for all hunters, even if you don't have to worry about getting on land yourself.
I agree with you on the animal activist groups gaining more of a majority say in what happens with hunting and land control. That is even more reason to pass our knowledge and ideals down to the younger generation. Whether we have kids or not. I think we should take the chances to become hunter mentors to anyone interested.
