We are portrayed waaay wrong
Looking throught the mug thread it is very blatantly
obvious we are portrayred wrongin the public eye.
We have a great group in the Bowhunting world and we are getting shafted by the media with the image that is portrayed to the non-hunting public.
With the execption of Quicksilver
we have some great guys and girls. I wish there was a way we could interject our image on HNI to more of the non-hunting public. As long as we put a shirt on _dan, and Hunsucker we need those shiny guns of yours to sway the female vote in the midwest and the male vote in California

Good stuff Germ,
It's the same thing with the portrayal of conservatives (or white, Christian males) in the media.
We are all a bunch of stupid neanderthals.
Anyway, I would give up on the dream of fair portrayal of hunters (or gun owners) in the media.
The best we can do is project that locally (like GMMAT talking about "harvesting" them der deers. [8D]
