Well stated.

That being said, I hope the "vegan" doesn't have an activist lawyer....

I don't like anyone shoving anything in my face, and quite a few people that classify themselves as hunters seem to take that approach. It is like they want to start an argument. Saying you like to kill stuff doesn't separate you from any mass murderer or nut-job; and certainly doesn't give any indication you are a hunter. If people ask, I tell them that I love to hunt. If they have any further questions, I'll answer them. If not. Fine. No reason to puff-up and start strutting around like a banty rooster.

I have all my taxidermy that is in two locked rooms - my gun room and my ammo room/home office.

My other taxidermy - table mounted cape buff horns are mobile.

When my vegetarian and vegan friends come over I go move it into my locked room.

I prefer not to rub my hunting into people who are anti hunting but close long time friends and family.

I have European skull mounted taxidermy near my pool and I have mixed it all with artificial plastic taxidermy like mounts from restoration hardware. Now I classify all of it as plastic and decorative causing moving some of it it just is too much work

I get indirect pressure from my vegetarian and vegan and animal right activist friends on hunting post on social media. I still post the occasional hunting picture with dead animals. They just say the fishing stuff is much nicer. When I took my mom to Africa as a observer she stated no pictures of dead animals on Facebook -I complied.

I recently got back from a black bear hunt over bait. I shot one but never recovered it.

I meet regularly with a group of horse people, where we talk horses and work with the horses.

One of the members asked me about my hunt, so I relayed what had happened.

A lady then asked me about eating black bear meat. I replied about how I usually butcher and cook bear meat.

One lady looked a little miffed, and asked me what about the bear? I just smiled and said sometimes, You eat the bear, and sometimes the bear eats you.

I couple days later I received an e-mail from the lady telling me she thought it inappropriate to talk about hunting and meat eating at the horse gathering.

I was surprised but basically told her, that I was asked by others about the hunt and how to eat the meat, and I just replied.

I also told her that I thought most of the people there probable ate meat (since we sometimes served hamburgers or pulled pork sandwiches at the gatherings).

I thought that was the end of it, but it turned out she contacted the people who own the stables (and the horses) and complained to them as well!

I spoke with both the owners and they affirmed that there was nothing wrong about talking about hunting or cooking meat.

To me, this is just another dirty tactic anti-hunters and vegans use to try and turn something as traditional and time honored as hunting and meat eating into something shameful.

To the owners credit, the lady talked with them and told them she didn't feel comfortable hanging around people who hunt and eat meat, and wondered if she could set up a separate group consisting of vegans and anti-hunters. The owners told her NO WAY, and that she needed to learn to accept people who thought and acted differently than her.
