I live in East Nashville. Just a couple thoughts:


1) Obviously it's a liberal area, but in my experience there's a lot more tolerance for/interest in hunting (especially meat hunting) than you'd think. I've helped a couple guys that I met over here kill and butcher their first deer, and even most guys who don't want to try it out are sort of interested in what it's like.


2) There are very, very few parcels over here where I'd be confident that I could put a deer down with an arrow or bolt without it crossing property lines. And the deer—even the mature bucks—are not very wary of people.


3) if the scenario in #2 was the kind of hunting I did, I doubt any of these people would be interested or supportive.


I'm definitely not saying urban liberal non-hunters should determine how people hunt. But this kind of urban hunting, which is the first way some of these people see hunting up close, is about the last way I'd want to introduce someone to the practice.
