I'm going to play devils advocate to help explain how the main stream sees this. Conservationists are advocates for the protection of all species in an ecosystem (including the animals). Hunters are predetors who eliminate natural resources (the animals) that conservationists protect. Many people see a hunter-conservationist as a hypocricy. It's black and white to the mainstream. Helping people understand the way it works is no easy task when they already see it like this. I really don't have the answer. This is a difficult subject. But I can see why non hunters don't grasp it.
