Hi,
The men in your article referred to as “hunters” are actually poachers. The vast majority of us hunters are ethical, safe and law abiding. Please do not lump myself or many others like me into the same category as poachers/criminals.
Thank you,
He replied quite quickly and reviewed his article. Several spots were edited including the headline in a way that did not paint us in such a bad way. I thanked him for reviewing it and said if he ever wanted to do an article from a hunters perspective, I would find him some people far more well spoken than myself.
I’m going to start doing this more often, hopefully it will help make a difference.
