[QUOTE="Traxion, post: 268466, member: 983"] I would argue waterfowl numbers have NOTHING to do with the decline in hunting. There are plenty of birds. However, a smaller migration window compared to years of old, along with significantly more difficult access, cause hunters to lose interest. In my area alone, you have to be very hardcore and proactive to have any reasonable access for field hunting. There is an outfitter and about 3 groups who have most good fields tied down well before the season. Makes putting together a hunt much more challenging. The hardcore guys are killing it for the 3x a year average Joe in a lot of cases. Habitat is key I agree. That and land access. Add it in to what else has been said and the path sucks. On the conservation org debate, I started a new thread. Curious to see who is supporting what and why.... [/QUOTE]
