‘City Slickers’ hunting club: shooting, hunting and conservation for the urban man
San Francisco is not a city known for hunting, fishing or guns but modern day hunting clubs with an emphasis on conservation appeal to modern urbanites.
“The topic (hunting) was not typical for a soirée in the ethnically and culturally diverse neighborhood in a famously liberal urban area.
But that conversation some two years ago led to a hunting trip and, later, to the Bull Moose Hunting Society — a club that aims to get urbanites into the wild and in touch with their primal instincts.”
The Bull Moose Hunting Society was named by it’s founders after the political party established by the famous conservationist and hunter Teddy Roosevelt. The appeal to urbanites seems to be a strong sense of conservation and protection of the environment. Society members generally seek to harvest invasive species such as feral pig. Members also take a politically moderate position.
Hunting organizations would be well served to take notice of hunting groups that have succeeded in urban areas such as the Bull Moose Hunting Society.
