Have you noticed more competition in the woods and on the rivers lately due to more people being unemployed?? Do you think it will hurt game and fish #'s with people more apt to fill their tables with bounty from the woods and waterways????

[VicF]

No - I have not noticed this. I doubt we see more activity in the woods or on the water, precisely because the economy is down. People can't afford the license, ammo, gas, etc. required to hunt or fish.

[rezavoirdog]

Nope, not anymore or less than before. I wish that hunting and fishing were my job though! Who wouldn't?

[Beekeeper]

No, not any more folks out than before.

I haven't noticed it myself, but if this is really happening I think it will actually help keep good herd numbers because there will be enough food for all the critters to share.

I'm afraid there might be more poaching to put food on the table.

Agreed with Jim in Mo answer above and A + 1 for you sir!!!
