think they have probably realised that it is much easier to hunt each

scary wilderness to hunt animals.

American hunter is a vanishing breed

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

12.5 million last year, according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
