Hunting in Decline?

      Just as Alabama officials try to increase tourism and hunting in Alabama's Black Belt, hunting is in decline, according to an AP story quoting the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service...but there's no breakdown for Alabama that I can find in the story, and although the Fish & Wildlife people say they produce a report every five years, the most recent I can find is 2006, so I'm not sure just where the stats for the AP story are from. Nonetheless, they cite hunters retiring and young folks prefering computers as the cause. 
     Alabama Black Belt Adventures is the name of the state tourism's effort. Visit it here!
