I am white and do not hunt. Do not see the point in it. I think its a lot of men who want to try to appear badass. They probably think it impresses people.

Maybe it's the thrill of the hunt and feeling the power one has to kill?
I had a physics student in my class once who was from rural Louisiana ( in the bayou).
On the way out of class, he asked me ; " You're pretty wide, how do you fit in a deer stand ?"
I told him I didn't hunt and he briefly looked confused. Then he got a big smile and said;
" Oh sorry, I should have known you were a fisherman."
LOL, I didn't have the heart to tell him I didn't hunt or fish.
