Correctomundo! Game cameras are the debil. People parading all over the woods checking cards instead staying at the camp and drinking, the whole damn world has done went crazy.

It’s become a big money sport that is slowly pricing out the regular folk who are the real hunters and becoming a hobby for the rich who want to sit in high fenced areas and shoot deer over a corn feeder, or expensive duck clubs that cost 250k a year. This has all led to over crowding of public lands and the problems that arise with that.
The days of a solid hunting club with 4-500 acres for 5-7 guys that costs 2-3 hundred bucks a month is slowly going away. Just like everything else in America from family farms to small local business. Big money offers a good deal, greed takes over, people sell. America we love loses another piece of its soul for the almighty dollar

I agree with your point about young hunters to a point.
I see lots of young duck hunters. Hardly any young deer hunters.

Veteran deer hunters, who have killed hundreds of deer, shooting a small buck because the neighbors will kill it.
Disappearance of Bobwhite Quail.
The good old days of deer hunting are right now.

They invaded SC decades ago and drove up leases.

I don’t think most people realize what a big part of our Southern hunting heritage was lost when the quail numbers declined.

I’d like to blame things like social media and reality tv for everything wrong with duck hunting today, but duck hunting has had its own special kind of underlying crazy for a lot longer than Duck Dynasty.

Disappearing access…
Increasingly expensive…
Diminishing game populations in many areas…
The digital age has provided Americas youth with alternative sources of entertainment as well as socialization.
The video game and chat room/subReddit has replaced the hunting blind and campfire.

I know a bunch of old hunters who kill plenty of ducks and deer every year, but they get almost misty eyed talking about quail hunting in Arkansas when they were younger.
That’s their childhood memory and what they think of when they think about hunting growing up.

People not having places to hunt. Growing up pretty much any farmer would let me hunt on their property. We are more focused on raising trophy whitetails than we are on raising hunters. If we lose this generation we will lose much of our hunting.
This is how we hunted in my youth. No clubs or leases, but people would generally let you hunt property by reputation. No one cared about trophies at that time.

I don’t have social media. You guys are my social media.
I hunt almost exclusively with my kids and we’re excited when they kill 3.5+ yr old bucks. I try to post those on here bc I like it when y’all post your stuff.
People can travel and kill giants. My wife’s cousin killed a high fence 220” deer. It’s not for me but I don’t care what he does.
As outdoorsman too many arguments about trivial stuff. 6.5 creedmore vs .270? Crossbows vs compound? Dogs vs stands.
The biggest problem isn’t within the outdoor community it’s that we have allowed our society to tolerate disrespecting people and behavior. That has bled into the outdoors

Too much money to be made in it now. Greed took over.

bullshite. My family owns a little bit of land but we always just hunted where we wanted back in the 70s and 80s. And you used to could run dogs anywhere you wanted. That all changed when land started getting leased up.

There is nothing wrong with hunting and I feel lucky to get the time to do it no matter the species.
Now society, that's a different wrong all together.
