The problem is that if 99% of us appear to be the sane ones with a few extremists on our side of the fence the media will highlight those few constantly. They do the opposite for the anti's. One day we will get over this crap and people will think for themselves again.

But there's also marketing; Being able to appeal to the masses through your message. Being able to communicate what we do and why we do it, and why we love it, and why it's good. It's not just thinking for yourselves. It's also about being able to connect with non-hunters and show them what we do is right and good.

I need to get better at that. Can't even convince mom that I'm not an evil blood thirsty barbarian for wanting to hunt.

I know that's tongue-in-cheek, Wraithen, but if we can't talk to our loved ones about our passion and show them why it belongs and is right, how can we expect perfect strangers to understand what we do?
We need to be ultra-educated about our sport and pro-active to show the 93% why what we do is vital to conservation and the well being of wildlife.

I get it. Trust me. That's why I get so defeatist sometimes about this. Just seems like I can't convince people on this one thing. I could convince the same people that the earth revolved around mars but can't get this one won as well. Usually just get bad apple stories out of it like how drunk rednecks use dogs to get the game animal tired, then shoot the exhausted animal. This seems like far too much work but can't get that through their heads either. How do you talk to people that are done listening?

I had the opposite problem. My mom was raised by a trapper/hunter and she had no problem with hunting. But boy was she hard on my "passion" when she found out about it. Whooo eeeeee  She didn't like those free love 70's.
