I just started hunting a few years ago, still yet to bag my first big game - going to try to make it happen with a Bruin this spring. But I wear the AOH moniker with pride as I see it as an awakening of an adult getting connected with their primal reward systems, which leads to new adventures in the outdoors. As an AOH it also means my experience is nil, and I accept that and am very open to learn. I’m a web designer by profession, and spend a ton of time researching and obsessing over different hunting related topics, from ballistics to game behaviour.
What I think would be extremely valuable, and what I would volunteer service for, is a database of easy to find data that helps support hunter/conservation stances from the hunter perspective, that would help newbies like myself keep informed on topics that we can help share with our non-hunter friends.
I find the more I tell people in my circle that I started hunting, more people (male and female) are interested in getting their core and pal. I feel the more people that we encourage to either become hunters or support hunting is only going to help all hunters in the future to combat anti-hunting agendas.
Sorry, I didn’t mean to knock people becoming hunters at a later age, I was simply referring to the label. Much like “meat hunter, trophy hunter, etc... I feel like these labels only cause further unnecessary segregation, that’s all.
In terms of a central location for conservation and on going database of that sort... that would be tough and I don’t know how you’d even begin to tackle that one.
