We do have some great sporting traditions here in the Northeast, but our regional Megalopolis is trending toward the effete.
We have teen-age boys around here now who have never baited a hook or shot a gun.
I look toward the West and South (and far North) of our country to lead in extending the outdoor ethos in the future. Paddle-boarding, mountain-biking, hiking and bird-watching are the main businesses today of our venerable sporting camps. They are great activities; but I think we’re missing something essential if we are not occasionally out there extracting something wild to eat.
