They claim they aren't, but they absolutely are anti-hunting. They were originally founded as "Defenders of Furbearers" and their goal was to outlaw trapping. They then broadened their name and claimed to be a conservation group, but they're 100% anti-hunting. I'm not sure if the site can sort their banner ads, but they certainly don't need to be promoting those nut jobs.

They are a "less extreme" anti-hunting group
Go to http://www.defenders.org to see the kind of activities they support.
They oppose the management of wolves by state wildlife agencies. If I remember correctly the opposed the extension of the cougar season in New Mexico and/or Utah. Neither were approved.
I doubt that you can find one instance that they in which they supported anything that would allow more hunting (in the name of conservation or not).

I studied under Karin Sheldon in law school. She's currently a board member, a former president, and former Chief Litigaiton Counsel for Defenders. She's about as anti hunting as you can imagine (she taught my endangered species law class). If you look at their board of directors, and litigation committee, its a whos who of the looney left.
