[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5741042, member: 1409"] At present, [U][B]one of the biggest things going against the future of "sport" hunting[/B][/U] (which is what most turkey & deer hunting have been the past few decades), i.e. hunting as one of many "sports", [U][B]is overly complicated & confusing game laws[/B][/U][B]. [/B] Younger people, who might otherwise be interested in trying, too often quickly lose that idea as they become confused by unnecessarily complicated regs, as many initially interested are in fact honest, but can be so afraid of accidentally becoming a law-breaker, they give up before they start. I've also seen many older hunters quit hunting, in large part over the same fears of accidently breaking a game law. It's easy to just feel, well that's great for those of us still hunting, as fewer hunters means more game for me. But what happens when the non-hunting public simply outlaws most "sport" hunting? [I]THAT[/I] is already happening in many areas, as government sharp-shooters are replacing hunters to control deer over-populations. [/QUOTE]
