Could Millennials Save Hunting?

The number of hunters in America has been declining since a peak in the 1980's but the downward trend has seen a reversal thanks, in part, to millennials.

The New York Times recently told the story of a couple in their 30's who took up hunting - not for sport - but for sustainability.

Rachel Owen and Wade Truong, a chef, told the Times they haven't bought meat in over a year.

Hunters in America peaked at 16.7M in 1982 and fell to 14.4M by 2010. However, last year, there were 15.6M licensed hunters in the U.S. Still, the Times reports, only 5% of Americans 16-years-old or older hunt.
