That's the facts, like it kr not.

Want to change your statement after Miktpals post because he has-had the real facts not ones from inside your head.

it's proof that these guys like to talk just to look important or skilled...it doesn't matter whether their comments are factual or relevant.

Good old internet celebrities :)

I like to watch hunting videos that other hunters have put together. We got a couple guys on this forum that like to capture their hunts on video. I could care less whether CITR is ever shown again.

plenty of good posts here,

I think its also important to consider that hunting is not currently being taken up by younger generations as willingly as it was years ago, and no doubt there are many factors for this. Having a decent show that was available on weekend mornings on regular (not pay or specialty tv) and was something that any kid could watch with their parent was good. True that the marketing has overtaken things, and I get the point about a hunter staged over a baited field....but nonetheless it was exposure for younger kids who may not get interested otherwise. My buddy's kid used to get up faithfully on weekend mornings specifically to watch it, and now they hunt together a lot, that's what stuck in my head.

In fact, hunting is growing in popularity.

In exactly what numbers, seems to be hard to nail down. Looking at the estimated Hunter summary charts (below) from the MNR for Deer and Moose from 2006-2013 it varies wildly from WMU to WMU.

Moose 2006 -2013

Deer 2006-2013

https://dr6j45jk9xcmk.cloudfront.net...g-activity.pdf


I know in this WMU (66a) there are far few hunters in the local camps, some are down up to 50%. The above charts indicate that they were 400 less licenses sold in this WMU between 2006 and 2013.

I looked for a more recent chart, but could only find some dated to 2009...again hard to make a general statement as some are up and some are down...and that was 6 yrs ago,
