I know it’s been almost a year since anyone has replied to this thread but, I would like to comment on how well the members done discussing what is a very real and important subject that is a terrible problem for every living thing here on earth.
Human over population is something that can’t be ignored for very much longer. Personally I couldn’t begin to think of a solution to the problem.
I am close to 62 years old. When I was born in 1961 the worlds population was around 3 1/2 billion people. Now in 2022 the worlds population is just almost 8 billion. Scientists say that once the world reaches 9 billion people. It will reach its maximum capacity. Some of them say people will be fighting over basic resources just to survive. ( food,water etc….,
Resources are already starting to become a problem just like places for hunters to hunt. Those resources are what this thread is about. There wasn’t nothing any member that posted that didn’t have merit to it. I think we all assume things are different in other states as far as over crowding and maybe some other states have more access to hunting opportunities. Myself personally I think it is the same problem every where else in the U.S.
I was in the military, had 2 brothers in Vietnam. My father was a disabled veteran. When I was in the military. Regardless of race, age, sex we all consider ourself’s brothers and sisters. We all had the same privilege to take part in the good and bad that comes with serving your country.
I know rules and regulations have to be made to keep order. I just hope what ever solutions that come up. That like the military we all in some way have a way to take part in the good or bad. I am live and grew up in North West Arkansas and believe me when I say hunting opportunities aren’t nearly as good as a lot of state’s. Actually the outdoors aren’t very good at all here.
In order to know how bad something is you need to know what condition that something was in before it turned bad. Someone that is one hundred years old today can tell someone that is 50 years old how things were. For at least 40 years before that 50 year old was born because that 100 year old person can remember back that far. That 100 year old can compare how things are now compared to when they were almost a hundred years ago. A 10 year old couldn’t comprehend how things were a 100 years ago. They can only compare the way things are now to how far they can remember back. Probably around 5 or 6 years old.
I am not trying to say older people are any smarter than a younger person and am not meaning to offend anyone regardless of there age by no means. My 4 year old grand daughter is way smarter than I will ever be.
I am just trying to point out is that the younger a person is the less that they are aware of just how bad things are getting because the world is so over Populated. Because they can’t really compare how things are now to how things were even in my 61 years of living.
Whoever posted this thread was very aware and concerned about the problem. You know things are getting bad when people start to notice. As a kid growing up. I never noticed that there were any problems. Especially when it came to finding good places to hunt or fish. Seems like what few old men I knew that come to Colorado only paid around a hundred bucks for a NR either sex elk tag. Most would buy mule, deer, bear tags that they usually always would fill. Because game was so plentiful, license so cheap. Gas to get there and back was 50 to 60 cents a gallon. Most of the GMU were like wilderness areas are to day.
Sorry for being so windy.
