I believe the numbers. Public land seems more crowded than ever and ever fewer hunters are hunting larger tracts of managed or leased land.

Fear not, according to the FWS "2016 National Survey of Fishing, Hunting, and Wildlife-Associated Recreation Report", the number of hunters decreased from 13.7 million in 2011 to 11.5 million in 2016 (16% decrease) so if you want fewer hunters in the field, your getting it. Especially when you consider how low our new hunter recruitment success is. We're all getting older and dying off.
So you won't have to share any more...assuming you live long enough.
