Less skilled hunters too. My grandfather in his green plaid jacket could walk anywhere through the woods amd you wouldn't hear him until He asked for a light...
None of my friends can walk through the woods w/o snapping every twig..
I think that's attributed more to the lack of land rhen the amount of hunters.
Back then, you could hunt your families 10/100 acre land.... that's all subdivisions now.
If the dude would have waited to post on social media until after his license was confirmed then he wouldn't be in this mess.
But on another note, did he really need a license if hunting on family land?
