We here on this BBS tend to focus more on bird/fowl hunting because that's what double guns were made to do. In Alabama, there are more deer and turkey hunters than ever. When I was in high school in the early 80s, most of the deer hunters were just us country boys, and even few of them were dedicated enough to become successful turkey hunters. Nowadays, it seems like the woods are full of city folks hunting both deer and turkeys. I used to have lots of places to hunt turkeys on land leased by deer clubs (even though I wasn't a member) because no one in the club hunted turkeys. That is not the case anymore. Mossy Oak and Browning logos are seen on the rear window of nearly every pickup truck and SUV around here. I think companies like those have marketed their products so successfully that a lot of the kids want to become hunters just so they can legitimately say they use the product, which justifies them placing the fashionable sticker on the back windshield! I cringe at the thought of being in the woods with folks like that, but I do recognize that they will vote on my side of the issue when it comes up, and am thankful for that.
