Funny, but, in my humble experience, the complaint about lack of land on which to pursue game is not the problem at all, at least not here. Minnesota has such an abundance of WMAs (they add more every year) state forests, tax forfeited lands, school trust lands and what have you, that land isn't the issue.
But, one fact is, and it is ugly. Single parent families are the norm here, and the truth is simply that single parent family is a nice, politically correct way to say kids being raised by a single woman. My Mom and Dad are still married, but, my Mom never hunted, and had it not been for my Dad, I wouldn't have, either.
I don't know what the percentage of single moms that try to get their kids out hunting is, but, my money says that it is less than one percentage point of the total. I know Dads that have sold hunting and fishing gear to make ends meet after a divorce. So goes another opportunity.
I know kids that hunt today. Their mothers had nothing to do with it. I haven't the slightest idea how to change that fact.
Best,
Ted
