The American Hunter: Going Extinct
Morning Edition, January 11, 2006 · Commentator Frank Deford laments the dwindling number of hunters in the America. He says suburbia, and its affection for big-eyed deer, are putting hunting out of style, and out of reach.

I hope that this trend will subside, or at least come full circle in years to come, but I fear the writer is correct when he refers to the "suburbia" element. It is quite disheartening for I know one of the best aspects of hunting is the bonds that it forges from generation to generation. I am also comforted by the fact I live in an area that is densely, hugely populated by hunters. We have yet to see a noticeable decline here. I only hope it stays that way.
