I’ve killed my share of stuff in the past and am the last guy in ND to be accused of being a game or tag hog.   It’s not the difficulty of the  hunt that keeps younger kids from joining our ranks, IMO!  It’s habitat and accessibility and the current computers, games, cell phones, stuff like that.  Other interests.  In fact, one could argue that 5he easier we make hunting and fishing the FEWER recruits we get! A dumb argument certainly, but so is making things easier increasing our numbers srgument!  Absolutely no cause and effect correlation either way!   I love to see new hunters and Fisher people and I’ve lifelong tried to encourage young entrants into our ranks, mentoring 5hem teaching hunter ed,etc.  Nope the sky is not falling...yet!  Im just old fashioned and hate to see things too easy — ads talking about 2 inch groups at 109 yards, arrows routine at 150, etc.  Not my cup of tea or cup of easy blood, that’s all.....what’s next, a crossbow powered by a CO2 cartridge, rapid fire a half dozen shots! You can bet your butt that as soon as something like this is invented the company pushing it will be wineing and dining our legislators to order the G&F to OK them! They are as bad as drug company lobbyists, or oill company intellectual prostitutes! And sadly I’d bet that  few Sportsmen will go testify to object, too! When that happens I’ll hang up my outdoor stuff and join the anti Hunters!  Just spent an hour looking and handling various new crossbows in Cabelas, listening to salesmen selling me on out of 5he box accuracy, no skill or tweaking required, blah blah......nice crossbows but starting to feel that sportsmen will sooner or later draw a line, or someone else will. And that scares the buckshit out of me.  Hopefully I’ll be fertilizing food plots from BELOW  the ground before that happens.</blockquote>
