I totally get the sentiment that people are soft and stupid for panicking over this. However, there's also a rational side to it. A lot of people are struggling to make ends meet right now, and they'd probably be bad fathers/ husbands/ dads if hunting applications didn't get replaced at the top of their list by other things. Truly, good on them for keeping priorities straight.
That and it helps the odds for guys like me who have nobody who cares about them and spend money on outdoor equipment like Pittman-Robertson is their patron saint.
