The Conscientious Hunter

For too long now, hunters have been the subject of bigoted, vilifying vitriol from those who would see our cultural pursuit banished to the history books. This has been obediently pedaled by those in the media, the result being a lot of unfair, misguided and malicious hatred towards hunters.

There is no better evidence of this than the rise of the hunter hate site (https://www.facebook.com/pages/Hunting-Accidents/116857018328303) with delightful comments such as:
"this page is just fantastic kieran i truely go all fuzzy inside when i see the stories of hunters dying no matter [their] age"
In The Conscientious Hunter I hope to both counter the irresponsible mistruths by sharing thoughts, ideas and philosophies of hunting, the conservation value and the cultural side of it, and also highlight the hypocrisy, the vilification and the impact of those who strive to see an end to it.

I'd love to hear your feedback, please leave a comment or contact me directly and, as always, please share this amongst your friends and anyone you think may be interested.
