[QUOTE="judgebill, post: 1741999, member: 101611"] Another old-timer chimes in; I was born and raised in Los Angeles, Ca, not exactly the heart of hunting country. Joined the NRA in 1948, went on my first hunt (deer in Ca) in 1950 at the age of 13 (no luck) and when I could drive cut my hunting eye teeth on jackrabbits. Read all the magazines, books and manuals I could find. Yes, hunting has significantly changed. No longer can I hunt "locally", meaning any place to which I could drive my automobile (i.e., paved roads) and pitch my tent and have a reasonable chance of seeing game. Today I have to travel long distances, spend outrageous sums and be reasonably assured of success for deer, elk, moose, sheep...or spend even more to travel to Africa. When I can afford it I can have some great hunting experiences. When I can't afford it I can enjoy shooting at the range and dreaming. I finally moved out of Los Angeles, not because of the lack of hunting opportunities but to be able to breathe clean air and see the green trees and running streams. Mostly now I enjoy remembering past experiences and feel sorry for the next generations. [/QUOTE]
