Hipsters Who Hunt

My brother is a in the woods vegetarian guy, and said something about catching you own meat not being so bad, so I showed him a hipster video aboot biodiversity from a hippy dippy musician:

Bears scare him silly, so I'm teaching him about what I've learned from CGN about bear defence, especially shooting into space.
 
hahaha. not to hijack but does someone have the link to the thread where someone asked if you can shoot into space? I need a laugh and you guys who have been around longer than me seem to be unable to forget about it. I've searched and searched but it's still evading me.
 
Hunting is entirely conscionable in a "left-wing" sense because hunting for food enables one to collect subsistence without supporting corporate agribusiness which cares little for either animal or human welfare.

And like Ol'Smokey said earlier, there is nothing innately "anti-gun" about being "left-wing" either. Most people who are "left-wing" are simply those who believe in the existence and support of a social safety net in society, and subsequently eschew racism, ###ism, and classism. None of these ideas are at all incompatible with gun ownership, which is ideologically neutral (They are objects after all).

Oh and if you want a political equivalent a person can believe in all the above and still vote for the Conservative party, for example, because it is not by any extent a "right-wing" party and is generally fairly in line with contemporary "mainstream" Canadian values today. As gun owners these are the type of people we want to attract (without making ridiculous suggestions about having to "change" their political beliefs) because the more of the Canadian mainstream that is on the side of firearms ownership, the more our societal (and political) attitudes about it will actually change.

More hunters are a good thing in general, as is understanding where meat/food comes from but two things concern me here:

Most are takining up and pushing for archery - therefore, the next step can be "if you can use a bow to hunt, why do you need guns? Members of "our party" are hunters and dont use guns"

I disagree, in fact would say the opposite is true. the tree hugger hipster types are into dispatching an animal in the quickest painless way possible, not for the sport or challange of it. and from my personal experience and observations there is alot of opposition to bow hunting in those circles as it can be quite messy and is very rarely painless and quick especially in the hands of an inexperienced and nervous newbie.
 
Real hipsters only hunt animals you've never heard of because you're too mainstream. Well, I think it's partly good that some of these people are wising up, as long as they're sensible about how and when they hunt. I can just imagine a bunch of hipsters freezing to death in the woods because their only concession to cold weather is an additional scarf.


I...I think I'm a hipster mall ninja. Someone recommend a scarf that goes good with my 5.11 pants.
 
I'm a redneck...but my stepson is a typical 13 year old kid. Shaggy hair, weird music...not a redneck bone in his body. Loves to shoot guns and bows, goes camping, cleans his own kills and enjoys every minute of it. You would never guess it by looking at him.
