Hunting T-Shirts Are A Tool To Educate
No one understands you, do they? They don’t understand why you go out at 4:00am in the freezing cold, sit in a tree, and wait for that one perfect shot. They don’t understand why you feel the need to do this act that they believe is ridiculous. They don’t know why you wear hunting t-shirts during the off season, and they definitely don’t know why you have a fascination with camouflage.
Well, if people are going to stare then let them stare. People who don’t even try to understand why what we’re doing is important are happy in their ignorance, and I pity them for that. The people who do understand, however, know that what we do is important for our traditions and for nature. All hunters are lovers of nature, no matter what you hear from the media.
When a hunter is wearing their hunting t-shirts, camo, or hunting gear we are doing the same exact thing anyone else does when they show off the things they love. People wear clothes all the time that reflect their favorite hobbies and sports teams. Those people are never judged for the clothes they wear, and neither should we be judged.
Hunters can, and will, take offense when people treat them hatefully. What hunters do is so important for nature because of the dangerous population levels deer reach without proper thinning. Their natural predators cannot maintain the proper population levels because human habitats have replaced the habitats of wolf, cougar, and coyote. Humans have a responsibility to nature, and hunters are the only people to remember that.
Hunters are under political fire every year. Holding fast to our pride is the only way we can combat this. We must show the people who refuse to learn that what happens during hunting season is for the benefit of everyone, not just the hunter. Put on your hunting t-shirt, share you personal testimony, and educate. This is the only way we can keep this time-honored tradition safe.
There is a great site about hunting t-shirts which can be found at deer hunting t-shirts where you can see how it’s done right.
