With all the trouble across the globe oil market crashing, Wall Street crash and Covid-19 shutting down world manufacturing and travel. Causing catastrophic layoffs, house hold name companies maybe not recovering and either closing or selling out to more secure companies and millionaires/billionaires potentially losing millions maybe billions.
What will be affected the most within the hunting industries.
Will it be high end rifles (Cooper Arms, Gunwerks, Christensen Arms etc).
Will it be technology (trail cameras, high tech glass rifle scopes, binos etc).
Will it be high end guided hunts.
Will it be out of state do it yourself hunts.
Will it change the way hunters look at hunting, not so much about trophy hunting and more about putting meat in the freezer.
Or is all this talk about the world economy BS and as soon as all the stay at home orders are lifted, does the economy come right back stronger than ever and the ten plus million people that are layed off get hired back on and it is buisness as usual.
I personally think you could see alot of hunters tighten there belts and not spend as much on the hunting industries. There was a poll on another thread of how much of a percent of your income do you spend on supporting your hunting needs and it was like 45 percent said they spent over 10 percent of there income. Does that continue with so much income lost this year.
Let's here your opinions and thoughts.
