WE DON’T HUNT
Nobody hunts anymore. It’s not because the younger generation is not filling the ranks as hunters. It’s not because hunting license sales are down by 1.1% in 2014 in spite of a major publicity campaign by the Pennsylvania Game Commission. It’s not even because many hunters spend 2-3 days in the woods and never see a deer.
It’s because everybody sits. It should be called Deer Sitting instead of Deer Hunting.
I came upon this realization while sitting in a tree stand.
