YES!!

At least the choice to use all that equipment or not is yours to make. It can be as simple or as complicated as you want to make it, hunting or bench rest, shooting steel or paper.

As to the hunting; as a rancher said to me when he ask if I was interested in 'leasing' the land I had been hunting (repairing fences, doctoring cattle, fighting fire, as needed) the last 25yrs, 'I'm in the ranching business to make money and leased hunting makes money'. I don't hunt there anymore, and as has been stated that's why a lot of people are no longer hunting.

My personal opinion is that by the time all of my grandkids (9mos. to 17yoa) are out on their own the US will be like Europe and the hunting will be for the 'priviliged' few.

Just my .02.
