Times change and it's nothing new.
How most people hunt is changing. Most of the new guys are afraid of learning how to work a pump or they will miss an opportunity in the learning process.
Like days gone by maybe the TV "stars" and magazine adds subject them to a subliminal peer pressure not realized. Can't deny that "back in the day" O'Conner, Jobson, Trueblood, Woolner, Tapply, Spiller, etc, etc, influenced a couple generations of us.
History repeats and TC Encores and such are the new rage.
Then again, many don't shy from spending big dollars on scopes???? The scope has become the quality status symbol for many. Interesting stuff.
And snuff has replaced the pipe.
