Yet every single study shows hunter numbers are way down across the Nation.

I'm 38 years old, and make enough money to get by and be comfortable, but far from well off. To many folks, I'm barely getting by. I've always wanted to make at least one Western hunt, and had dreams of making it many more. Sadly, the closer I get to the point where I thought this would be a reality, the more the goalposts seem to be moving.

I'm not at all suggesting I deserve a damned thing...just somewhat disheartened at the prospect of never being able to do what I always figured I would eventually get to. Such is life.
