Hmmm. The continually rising rate of murder with firearms makes me think they have probably realised that it is much easier to hunt each other than go to to the expense and trouble to go out into the nasty, scary wilderness to hunt animals.

States worry decline could cripple funding of conservancy programs

States that rely on tens of millions of dollars in hunting license fees annually to pay for environmental conservation are trying to boost a population they had never thought of protecting: the endangered American hunter.

The number of hunters has slid from a peak of 19.1 million in 1975 to 12.5 million last year, according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
