Apologies in advance if there is a better community for this question.

Just out of curiosity, how many folks around here hunt?

I ask because I don’t encounter too many people far left of center (especially in my geographic region) who hunt. Fewer still, are those who keep and train dogs for this purpose.

Not intending to start a debate, just checking the barometer around here.

    I find this curious because these are supposed to be workers movements, yet, so many rural working class Americans are misrepresented in the discourse about them.

    I am in turn curious about two things

    1. do you think that rural working class in the US is a significant demographic that socialists should target? and if yes why?
    2. why do you think a group like hunters would align themselves with socialism? under socialism, hunting would most likely either be abolished or heavily regulated with the goal of phasing it out (except for indigenous practices). so to me it is kind of the opposite, but i would be interested in your experience
