It isn't possible to support as many extremist "green" causes as they do and not be anti-hunting. In general, they keep it under the radar by mostly only supporting causes that promote things like more wildlife preservation zones, which is green-speak for NO HUNTING! But a few are overt, like they support the campaign to stop the Yellowstone buffalo hunts.
Go to a gathering of the "deadlocks and Birkenstocks" crowd some time and look around and count how many are wearing a Patagonia label. That should tell what the company won't.

I like patagonia gear and will buy from them.
I like to think that their gear is furthering my hunting success! My son bought a pair of the Pat. Alpine guide pants for our recent goat hunt and they were really great.
I'm looking to buy a pair.

My Patagonia zip-top keeps me way too warm if the temp is over 50.

They dont sell their goods at stores that sell firearms. Thats pretty good proof to me. I did see where they had released a couple of womens hoodies through cabelas website though. Mack's Prairie Wings sells Patagonia gear and they are one of the nation's largest waterfowl hunting dealers in the US. They sell firearms too: I use Patagonia's capilene, R2 & R3 fleece and a couple of their synthetic puff vests. MtnHtr

In perusing their website, I see that they donate heavily to grassroots environmental movements but I see nothing anti-hunting...except for an essay about wolves. I suspect that they've donated a chunk of cash to their reintroduction although I couldn't find a list of specific organizations that they support.
