I would have to agree with Matt's point of view here. Yes, I also hunt.

I think the part that would bother me is your assertion of "Most hunters" - malarky. most
hunters I know *who stick with the sport* have very similar attiudes about the wilderness to most of the avid hikers I know who don't hunt. If you're out there for no other reason than to kill something, frankly, you don't last in the sport, because you simply won't have fun when you don't, and to enjoy it, well you have to.

Just as in any crowd, there are slobs and boneheads who participate. for whatever the reason, however generalizing this to "most" is really not fair.

Are there people who pick up a rifle who are idiots and are out there for the wrong reasons? yes. Just as there are people who put on a backpack, fill it with beer and steaks,
go 5 miles in, make a mess of their campsite, leave food out for the bears and generally make a nuisance of themselves to anyone within hearing distance.
