Looks like things were trending down before covid showed up. That's cause for some optimism. Maybe I'll hold off on selling all my hunting gear and taking up pickleball.

I could very well be wrong, but how much of the 2020 numbers is having to buy your wildlife cert when you put in for draws? I know covid drew some outdoors, but not sure if that factors into the numbers? Also can't remember if we've had to do that 1 or 2 years now either. Off topic
