We have one guy under 50 that goes with us. He is 27. He is the son on one of the regulars. He has been coming since he was 17.
I urged him to get a group of guys his age to start coming but he claims he has tried and there is little interest. I look for him to drop out as he has started a family and has access to hunting ground where he lives. Younger guys are not taking up deer hunting and many older guys are looking for a easier hunt than walking in the big timber and then dragging game out.
This^^. I started seeing a lot of hunters, more than usual in mountains about 10-12 years ago. Then a LOT of 'em started using those damned quads, making more noise in the country. Too many new "hunters" for me. It's why I stopped big game hunting and just chase the upland birds now. Way more relaxing. Until I go after Chukar!
