IMO one of the biggest problems we have and is one of the places we can make the most gains is simply putting a face to the 'evil'. Many of the people who either actively or passively oppose us have never met a single person who does a bit. This separation and impersonalisation makes it very easy to develop an image of us being essentially deranged and not human. Simply engaging with social groups that fit this type is a positive action imo. So long as you don't kick off by sharing pictures of chinless terriers.

Jmho mate, but a bit of clever marketing can change nations…..the UK is living proof of the fact.

Fieldsports is one clued on head of a big hunting organisation away from having a renaissance……clever people could easily turn “killing for sport” into “healthy outdoors, nature preserving harvester of healthy organic food” ……if they wanted to and had the vision and drive.

Keep surrendering things and calling it a victory is the modern way I know but ultimately, it’s still loosing !

100%. I suppose I knew that the rebranding was needed, I just don't believe it will happen. And I'm way too honest for that salesmen game.

Never tell lies, but you can tell a nice sounding version of the truth mate ;) 

Everyone else is, fieldsports organisations should be ashamed they haven’t cottoned on and done the same

When you see how 'the outdoors' is marketed in the US and NZ etc you realise how far behind we are with it. I think the problem we would encounter at this point is finding platforms that would allow us to spin such a positive version of it to the masses.

The media are whores, give them enough money and they will publish anything.

True enough. There are unashamedly hunting/fishing/shooting series on Prime and Netflix. We'd need to take that to saturation. Absolutely bombard the place with marketing.

Saw an article saying that's BS

Yeah, the comments were actually pretty balanced and even a few that were totally anti said it was 'fake news'.... and then went on to spew the usual class based vitriol with a good smattering of "subhuman psychopaths" type nonsense.
