Universities have a significant impact.
My three kids all starting shooting early in life. In their teens, they hunted and worked rifle matches at our club, scoring and changing targets. Growing up, they ate wild game on our dinner table.
All three went to large midwestern state universities, and got degrees in engineering or finance. At college, they were all turned into lefties and liberals. While not anti-gun (at least around me) none of them want any of the guns I have offered to them, they don't shoot anymore, and never hunt. To humor me, they will sometime accompany me to the skeet range, and shoot a round or so - but minimal interest.
Two of them extensively hike, camp, canoe, etc. but without any firearms.
They are still very good people, and I'm proud of their many accomplishments -- but no more hunting!
