No disagreement here, Boyd. The guy who makes one box of shells last five years is as bad as the guy who buys his "expertise".
I believe that a lot of the blame goes to our frenetic lifestyle. A guy (or gal) works at least 40 hours a week, and maybe double that. He spends two or three hours in traffic every day. He has a family to pay attention to; a yard to mow; a car to keep maintained, inspected and licensed; bills to pay; kids to ferry hither and yon. And maybe ten days a year off.
That guy loves to hunt. He either never gets the time to practice with "ol Faithful" or he comes to believe that the latest wundergun he's read about will make up for his lack of practice.
In the woods, he blazes away with ol Faithful; or he whangs away at the first (and maybe ONLY) deer he sees no matter how far off it is.
Both result in lost animals - and more accusatory fingers pointed at hunters by the antis.
