I don't think the article was aimed at disparaging hunters. Yes, there are some lines that are offensive, in the sense that I object to the content. For example, the characterization that hunters see deer as vermin like rats, infested by lyme's disease, is an incorrect and negative characterization of hunters. At the same time, it is obvious the tone of this article is very light hearted and even just a bit silly. US non-hunters are also lampooned just a bit when they are characterized.

Pretty insubstantial article, but not something that damages hunters in my opinion (though it doesn't help them either).
