[M.T. Pockets]

I used to be able to hunt every farm I asked around my home when I was growing up 25 years ago. I used to go to South Dakota pheasant hunting and knocked on doors and got permission to hunt almost every time, and when the owner had to turn us down they'd apologize.

Now all I see is NO HUNTING signs.

People are still hunting the land, it's just being bought out or leased up.

The biggest threat to hunting's future is not gun control, it is access to hunting land.
