I believe a lot has to do with folks don't know how to use that trigger finger anymore, it's just to easy to come up with some story for ole couldbe and make a quick lick off it, or folks think they give money for a pup they should at least get their money back instead of just doing the right thing and putting it down....
I gotta agree with ya on that as well. Id hate to add up all the money ive lost due to my huntin habit over the years lol.....if a fella is in this for the money he is in it for the wrong reasons!
