[QUOTE="AT Hiker, post: 3937756, member: 10019"] [url=http://sportingclassicsdaily.com/issue/2015-1/article/the-rise-of-hipster-hunters]http://sportingclassicsdaily.com/issue/ ... er-hunters[/url] I like the idea that more folks are getting involved in hunting but this article does a horrible job of portraying the new "hipster" hunter and the stereotype redneck hunter. Hipsters are a new trend, one that will likely evolve into something else. But hunters in general are not new, not every hunter listens to Skynyrd and Hank. Nor do they drive jacked up trucks or as the article says, "bait deer within range". I have met hunters from all walks of life, sure the stereotype redneck poacher gives a bad rap, but guess what! They are not the majority and actually I would say the vast majority of hunters and sportsmen that I know are educated, middle class and live in the city/suburbs. This locavore movement makes it seem like they are the first city dwellers to hunt. Maybe this is why TWRA is raising tags, as the article implies "financially secure yuppies" are taking to the field to get organic meat. Any yuppies here on TN Deer? All my yuppy friends that live in Nashville like to fish, none are really into hunting but they do love to eat venison when Im in the mood to share. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
