Tim Heffernan went over how hunting is doing in the United States:

• There are more hunting targets than ever before. Suburbs are an ideal habitat for white-tailed deer.
  • In fact, they have become a pest that make the habitat unlivable for other species.
• Yet there are fewer hunters than ever before. In 1991 1 in 13 adults hunted. Now it’s 1 in 18. Hunters have also become older.
• Hunting technology has advanced substantially. Developments include:
  • Autonomous infrared trail cameras.
  • Advanced target acquisition systems.
  • Chemical weapons such as scents that will make you smell like deer.
