Well, I’m not against cell cams. I’m not against bait. I’m not against the February extension (where needed), but I’m entirely against all three in combination. It’s not sustainable.
With the first two I totally agree. I’m seeing bigger deer drop nowadays due to that combination. Literally have seen and heard about hunters who received pics of a shooter at a feeder who went and shot it that day. Most being guys who wouldn’t have been going that day/time. At some point hunting isn’t hunting… it’s merely shooting.
skills are being lost and then not taught , just a fact .
Nah it's just hunting isn't that hard, it's the same with fishing. Technology has shown us where and when critters move and it just so happens they are not very hard to kill once you know the current area they are in.
And that shows why folks are becoming complacent and recruitment is low. It really is a catch 22 where there is so much information that one easily becomes bored as it is the one with the money or technology that outcompetes at camp. A rat race to nowhere really.
It’s true though, skills are being lost and replaced with technology
