Hunter Green is an essential primer for the urban, eco-conscious non-hunter who is curious about the idea of harvesting natural, organic, cruelty-free food from the natural world. These pages give even the 'greenest' novice a set of facts, tips and guidelines that will get them out hunting safely and productively. And the discussion takes place within a 21st century worldview of climate science, industrial animal cruelty and shifting societal attitudes. Author Thomas Hudson gently and fairly re-examines our cultures often unexamined and superficial attitudes to this age-old craft. He comes to some fresh and surprising answers to questions like: is hunting cruel? Is it possible to hunt in an ethical, respectful, and sustainable manner? Might there be common ground between the rural, pro-hunting faction, the opposing group who strongly believe hunting has no place in the modern world, and the hesitant, urban, green hunter? While never losing sight of the stakes involved, Hunter Green also makes it fun. For example, in discussing the safe handling of your firearm, Hudson notes: "Next to a karaoke microphone, no tool you'll ever hold will have greater potential to do yourself and others serious harm."
