Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Do we allow gunwriters to have "evolving" viewpoints?

As humans, we love stories. Before paper and professional writers, the storyteller told his tales. In part to entertain, but mainly to teach and pass on accumulated knowledge.

Even with the internet, radio and television, there still exists the wonder of listening to a good storyteller. You can see it in the eyes of many people in theatres, churches etc.

There are so many of us on the planet, most with multiple outlets from which to find these tales, that we've become choosy. That's to be expected I suppose.

logcutter, you are certainly correct when you say that the overwhelming majority don't need to hunt. There is a "however" to this. Northern Canada has its fair share of subsistance hunters - both native and white. Most enjoy reading the magazine articles. Some will try a suggested method or technique when hunting. Others will laugh and ignore them. Regardless, the story's the thing. Either for the entertainment or the knowledge.

Whether for sport or to feed one's family, the method is the same. The result must be the same. If it is not, the sport hunter would be irresponsible. The subsistance hunter would go hungry.
