Bearpaw,
My professional resume does not classify me as a hunter either. I still think based on the quote I posted earlier that he is in fact a hunter.
Piano,
Hunting is a act of predation so when he calls humans hunters, he would be referring to us in the act of predation. Therefore we are predators. Of course this is the way I interpret that comment, and we will most likely never agree about the implications or lack of in that comment.

So, and I say this with all due respects, you missed my point completely, Brandon. When anti-hunters talk about predators, humans are never part of their list, as with this article. We're separated out as hunters, when he clearly lists predators. This is a perception problem on the part of the antis. They don't accept humans as an apex predator and as with this authors solutions, which only includes the gray wolves for keeping moose in check, hunters are overlooked, nay eliminated as a possible solution for this supposed overpopulation. This whole article is predicated on man not being part of the predator/prey balance. He's only mentioned as a hunter. Wolves are the only real predator solution this guy offers. Man is an afterthought.
