Free: Contests & Raffles.
Well I would say that it is our duty to give a perception to the public that we are not a threat to them. If we go about it with an attitude than we will undoubtly recieve it. I always say hello to hikers when I am on the trail hiking into hunt. If a person should come across an abrasive hiker or tree hugger just keep calm and turn the other cheek. For sure if confrontations occur they will put every hunter in the same "all a bunch of a-holes" pot. Just like when unethical hunters give the rest of us a bad reputation. Sure we could beat the krap out of them and hang them from their undies in a tree but it is easier to be diplomatic about it. I walk away with have a good day response.
