Just the opposite here. Hunters are getting older, deer camps up north are being sold off, people are losing their hunting areas on private land and younger guys don't hunt as much. I don't want to see other hunters, so that trend is just fine with me.
It’s that way in northern MN as well. Lack of interest in younger generation is part, but that isn’t helped by the decimation of the deer herd in many areas by the wolves, bears, and bobcats.
The big deer camps in the back bush are certainly shrinking, replaced a bit by the guys going to their many new lake cabins, hunting a bit but watching football more.
Lotta money all in for that hunting time with general success no where near what it once was. The bigger deer camps in the back country I visit from time to time have the best pictures pinned to the wall, of times past.
