Agree, as is everything. It always has, I'm sure the market hunters at the end of that era had similar feelings. Hunting didn't go away then it won't now, it will involve more technology, more social media, and hunters will more and more feel the need to justify their actions and carefully control their image.
People like Rinella are working hard to keep the tradition alive and help it evolve with the times. As the ethicist in Star in the Sky put it hunting has a PR problem, and I think being critical of members of our community for behavior that paints our sport in a bad light is important. I'm not sure if that criticism is best done in the open, or with a PM/behind closed doors. Probably depends a lot on the individual receiving the criticism and what will they will be most receptive to.

He just talked about this in his most recent podcast. We have to meet new hunters where they are, and slowly bring them in.
