With the season starting tomorrow I remembered an old hunting partner who I hunted with for years. We would meet up at a gas station and share the driving to our hunting area an hour away. My friend lived next door to a fanatical anti hunter. This lady would watch my friend load up his gear at 4 in the morning and harass him about shooting deer. Year's later I killed a nice buck on a Saturday morning and remembered this lady next door to my buddy, so I drove to his house with the deer in back of my truck to show him (really her). As luck would have it she was not home, but my friend was so we laughed about his neighbor. He said even when he went fishing she would tell him he was murdering fish. Just wondering if anyone else had a similar experience?

Some are just pure animal lovers...while others I've learned often times have just met the bad within our ranks as hunters. Hang out with hunters long enough or where they congregate and some of the anti-sentiments ring truer and truer sadly.
However, she sounds like the first category and simply an animal lover through and through....be curious to know if she was a vegan?

At the same time, we need to be mindful of others. Just because we don't mind seeing a little blood and guts, doesn't mean we should parade a carcass around on display so that others are forced to see it, walk into the store with bloody hands and clothes, etc. There aren't as many hunters as there used to be, so creating a positive public image is more important now than ever.

Most are just ignorant to what hunting really is and only know hunters as portrayed in their favorite childhood movies

steiny 100% agree...simply because they share their opinion un-asked, doesn't mean we need to parade yours on them. Won't change their minds 100% of the time  |

Only "hunter harassment" I get is when my wife says - "You're not going hunting again are you?"
