Money affects attitudes across the whole spectrum of hunting and life for that matter. Those with more finances will always displace those with less.
It’s hard for me to define who the everyday hunter is anymore. In my world seasons are long , tags and animals are plentiful. Access is the issue. With few good public access options available leases are the most common way hunters gain access. Just about every average everyday whitetail hunter I know either has a lease or goes as a guest with someone who does. Thats a rub for some.
My lease happens to be in another state. Even more of a rub for some of the locals there.
I don't mean to compare hunting Whitetails to hunting a ram like this just to make the point someone is always one more tier down the financial ladder affected by those willing to spend more.
I didn't read all 12 pages of the thread but got the flavor of it in first 4. Many legit and great points as usual.
