Bob,
as per usual you're on track. As the parent of 3 millennials I have a little insight. My kids have all grown up hunting and know that any red meat we have, has been killed by one of us, for as long as the kids can remember.
Even growing up in a very rural part of the country where the outdoors are a major part of life I'm saddened by how few kids are hunting and fishing.
The missing component for many of them is a caring parent to get them started. I did my part my setting my kids up with pre 64 M70's, good optics, boots and gear and we spend quality time in the outdoors together as much as possible.
We owe it to our kids to make it happen, the world will be a better place for it, and just maybe we can turn the tide of a throw-away state of mind....and perhaps they will put the phone down long enough to see the natural world around them.
Now, back to winchesters!
