I read a similar report from an antihunting group. I'm not sure how well it can be trusted but it paints a sad picture. I was kinda sceptical about the numbers though. Here's the link.

Sad, sad........we are a dying breed.

Ya know, our society reflects those stats too.
Look at kids today. Generally juvenile degenerates that have no respect for anything.

I think if you can keep a kid in the outdoors, church and scouting, he's got a fighting chance at being a pretty good adult.

BTW,

I sure don't thank God often enough for a father that took me fishing, hunting and camping and was very involved in scouting with me as a young boy!

wish my dad would have taken me out or at least had someone else teach me when i was young....i wouldn't have made 1/10th of the mistakes i did if i had been out in the woods.
