I'm just trying to get into the sport as an adult based out of Calgary, and it seems like I'm going to have to either drive hours or hike hours to have a reasonable chance at a successful big game hunt without stepping on someone else's spot.
Not really a problem for me, but I can see why some people who have been hunting the same areas for a long time might be frustrated. I've seen the same trend in other outdoor sports that I've been into for longer.
