Default RE: How Do I Respond to Anti-Hunting Comments

There have been several excellent responses throughout this thread. One thing that I've learned in my occupation is that different people react differently to different situations. You can't always give one answer to everyone that asks a questions. You have to read people, through lots of non-verbal cues and respond to that individual person.

For instance, I'm 25, in construction there are a lot of guys that have been doing their work for longer than I've been alive. I can't approach someone like that the same way I do a person that is much younger and less experienced. I have to "mold" my questions and answers to that person for them to be effective. If we'll all do this in regards to the anti-hunter comments, our results will be much more beneficial.
Those antis could care less how you mold your questions or answers about hunting, they don't get it and never will. I don't see why WE owe THEM an explanation on why we hunt! Why do we as hunters have to defend anything to these kind of people????? I don't get it! I think being defensive hurts us more!
