Recognizing there is potential for sustainability in the hunt and in hunters due to a new demographic, should give us hope. And something to focus on.
I don't think it's wildlife populations or culture war that is the greatest threat to hunting. It's social media and how hunters choose to carry themselves and speak. Too much ego.
Relax, enjoy hunting for what it is. A great lifestyle. I know it's more difficult for those who live in large centres. Weekend warriors, but work to identify with the history and tradition of the hunt and avoid going off on an ego trip and privileged rights. Doesn't help.
