I don't think we have to worry about keeping the hunters we have but I also don't think any changes will bring back new ones either! I'm glad to see you make it to one of these meetings, I'm sure it gave you a new perspective on the situation at hand, and who the people are that go out of their way to try and find a solution to all this!

Mentoring is the only true way to bring in New hunters, both young and old, these new Youth and family hunts are a good key to doing it on public land, though I have say, we need more areas both public and private to get these Kids involved, we need help from the Media to entice the help of large business's to help mentor this!

Wayne,
Glad to see you "Back in the Ring"!

Mark
