Interesting article, but also one that glosses over the fact that pure and simply put, there is less opportunity to hunt because places to hunt are getting scarce. You have private landowners that either do not allow hunting, or have figured out they can make a buck by leasing hunting rights (as is their right), and that puts everyone else who can't pay for a lease or own land on public lands, which are crowded. IMHO, it's accessibility to hunting grounds that is the major factor, and I'm not sure how to fix that.
