Ive been hunting since I was 9 years old and im 60 now. Ive bought a hunting license every year until I got my lifetime. I think my first license was 2.00 or 2.50. Hunting was a cheap way to feed your family as there were no deer in my area in the late 50's early 60's.

In the last 10-15 years hunting has lost its true meaning and turned into a trophy competition, its happened with fishing also.

When this happened all manufactures started increasing prices on equipment. The word "magnatitus" became the norm. If something wasnt bigger and expensive it wasnt any good. Look at the prices of broadheads, bows, slugs,...ect...ect and 30 years ago who would thought someone would pay 35.00 for a bottle of deer pee...?????

I think the change is a generational thing and as an old guy I can clearly see the changes and I dont like them, but seems the younger guys do so maybe its time to step back and let them make the decisions as they will be the ones that have to live with them. h.h.
