Reading Heartsblood: Hunting, Spirituality and Wildness in America.
Many thoughts. I will share in forthcoming posts.

Sport Hunters – Hunt for sport. Disconnected from nature,, separate. Trophy hunters. Hunting media and the common conception of hunters by the mainstream.
Nature(natural) Hunters – Spiritual connection to nature, animals and the hunt. Deep appreciation of the primal nature of hunting and the natural world.
