Thanks for posting these resources.  We have to always be vigilant and active regarding these extremists.  They don't understand what we do- a full freezer, a safe and ethical hunt, and the care hunters actually have for nature.  I know so many people who started as hunters and ended as hunter-conservationists.  Take away hunting, and you take away a powerful means by which people "come around" to conservation. 

I have people over for dinner, and put venison steaks on the table. Even if they will never hunt, it offers me a great opportunity to discuss wildlife management, conservation, and hunting as a lifestyle.  It's fun, and it's also effective.  You will hear things like, "You are not what I pictured hunters to be",  etc.  Stereotypes start dropping with every bite of deer.
