Cultural change, land use change, poitical change, demographic shifts, the dilution of 18th Century values about citizenship, or the general decline of personal liberty in exchange for economic or social securities or religo-political-fanatic causes, are all quick glosses on the subject.

However, humans vastly overpopulate, wear things out, overuse them, neglect stewardship in exchange for quick fixes and so...I suspect that the next REALLY good hunting is awaiting somewhere out in the solar system, provided we don't get hunted here.;~`)

In the meantime I'll take a good laugh when the opportunity presents, and hunt with my dogs till the paramedics haul my wornout carcass from a canoe or blind or tree stump or a swale of grass on a sunny hillside with a view.

Wish I had a fix or cure for the ills of us sportsman and society in general, but don't feel like founding another danged religion or fostering a POS cluster of politicians in an attempt to remedy the future.

Que sera, sera...
