I was looking through my annual digest the other day and was shocked at how low the numbers have dropped off since 1990.

For example, woodchuck hunting has gone down, from 1990, 1,299,647 hunters to 123,204, in 2007-08

Crows down from 355,492 in 1990 to 39,579 in 2007-08.

For some reason the digest is only listing small game numbers and not big game, but you can see the trend.

What factors are making people stop hunting?
