I am in my 30th year chasing the elusive unpredictable waterfowl............and I remember vividly talking about this almost...........well.............every damn year.
when we went from 30 and 3 to what we have now every vice president of muckity muck LLC went out and bought a Benelli and became a hunter.
I also think the surface drive/large horsepower long tail factors in.............when you see guys talk more about how fast their boat is with (insert motor here) than how the birds worked, the dogs retreived and kids shot, then we have lost the sport.
but there will always be those of us, sitting on a river bank chooting a wooduck if we can
