Biggest hurdle/barrier to entry into hunting?

I’d say also that a lot of Barrier to Entry to new hunters is current hunters them selves not all but more then we care to admit exist so just hear me out

Yeah, and not to mention all the hunters in this very thread who seem to want to actively discourage new hunters. I hope they're not taking their kids out with them and causing overcrowding in the next generation /s

I’d say also that a lot of Barrier to Entry to new hunters is current hunters them selves not all but more then we care to admit exist so just hear me out and as a note I’ve done it myself so let me explain. We as the hunters get pretty sanctimonious when we discuss conservation to a new hunter we to often are quick to condemn people for going out and shooting a forkey or a spike bull and how that’s not conservation because we who have hunted for many years wouldn’t do it but to nurture and grow a supported new generation of hunters that will benefit us all have to look the other way and say Awesome Job! not why did you shoot that I would have never done that and let those grow up, I have had to talk my self out of saying that to a lot of young kids and understand that that’s part of maturing and become what we all want to see.

I'll be honest. Ive got more respect for a guy sticking a forked horn in the freezer than I do the dorks worrying about how many inches some buck is.
