Nikon is without a doubt anti hunting. I saw this first hand at a Nikon Spot On Shoot. One of the reps had a trailer with Nikon on the side as well as deer. They were asked to move it so the Japanese Employee from Nikon wouldn't see it. Years back they stayed away from Tactical scopes for the same reason.
