We also look at core issues related to the future of hunting such as hunting ethics, hunter education, the public trust of wildlife, and the North American Model of Wildlife Management.

Where have the hunters gone?
I recommend reading "It's the Culture" from Delta Waterfowl. They do an excellent job of pulling together lots of the research on the decline in numbers of hunters and propose a holistic approach to turning it around. Well worth the time.
There are lots of good ideas out there. But the simplest one would be if everyone of us hunters took a new person out with us to see hunting on the ground, took them to a range to try shooting, helped them with hunter ed and then took them hunting we'd do more for building support for hunting and funding than any of the big dollar programs combined. What do you say?
Thanks Eric. Good read!!!
