Hey, this is nice, so nice!

I took a look at your blog, and it sure is interesting to read. Personally I have zero experience of hunting, but at a time I've been thinking about learning to hunt small game like hares (which is relatively free in Finland. Hunting big game is much more controlled and would require joining a local hunting group. I'm bit too hermit for that, if I imagine myself hunting I would like to sneak and stalk all alone.

Last night I slept only for 4 hours, now I feel my brain working on half speed, so I'll reply only with quick comments;

I always thought that my own life isn't nothing special to write about - I know there would be lot more experienced people to tell about what they do. So I have adopted a different approach; I always think I'm writing to inspire others, and just using my personal life as an example, to make it feel more real. So, posting a link to your blog is very welcome - this is what internet is for; to share ideas and inspiration, making people feel connected all around the world. Nice!

And this thing with haters and mainstream culture - I guess I know what you are talking about. I very much liked your idea of "And if we who hunt don't correct that misinformation, nobody else will." - keep up the good attitude! You are doing it in a good way; instead of launching a counter-attack, instead of mocking city dwellers you just honestly describe the things as they are in your life. Then it is up to the potential haters if they really are open to trying to understand other perspectives, or if they are just locked with their own mindset, unwilling to meet anything which is outside their own sphere.
