I do think the one thing the kids coming into the sport will have is less pressured public. 5-10 years from now a lot of guys will age out and not many are replacing. I have noticed that a ton with late season. Not many of those folks can handle the below 0 weather. The other thing they will miss is over the counter non resident tags. Those are slowly going away.The median age of deer hunters in MN and WI is around 60. Things are going to look quite different in 10-15 years when half the people deer hunting now age-out of it.
If we do not have hunter recruitment things will definitely look different in the future as you pointed out.
I would post the article on median age of MN deer hunters but it’s behind a paywall. The article says the median age in 2018 was 41.77.
