What is I Am Hunter?
If you came to I Am Hunter through a link, via a post on social media, or through a Google Search, you may be wondering what I Am Hunter is all about.
As the name suggests, yes, it is all about hunting but unlike many hunting sites, I Am Hunter is designed for both hunter and non-hunter alike.
If you’re an existing hunter, you’ll find lots of information about hunting methods and styles, as well as tutorials, videos and even short courses to help you learn new skills and better utilise the animals you hunt.
If you’re interested in learning to hunt, but aren’t really sure where to start, you’ll find helpful information on how to apply for a firearms licence, as well as plenty of tutorials, videos and courses to help you learn the basics.
If you’ve come here because you don’t agree with hunting, and cannot fathom a reason why anyone would kill animals ‘for fun’, you’ll find lots of information that explains why hunting still plays a vital role in modern society, and why a ban on hunting is not good for wildlife.
Whatever your reason for coming to I Am Hunter, we hope that you will find the information that you are seeking. And if you don’t, then let us know and we’ll try to answer your questions.
On a grander scale, I Am Hunter is the first phase of My Life On The Land, a brand new website being developed to help people pursue a more sustainable and self-sufficient way of life.
Our goal is to help people from all walks of life take greater interest and responsibility for the way that they live.
We encourage people to grow, hunt, fish, forage or farm their own food; to eat nose-to-tail; to preserve, pickle and store fresh foods for the long haul; to learn basic life skills that ensure you’re prepared for any possibility; to slow down and savour life and impart these skills into the next generation to ensure they don’t become completely reliant on some global corporation for all their most basic needs.
It doesn’t matter whether you live in a tiny, inner city studio or on thousands of acres, or off-the-grid in the middle of the bush, there are small ways that we can reduce our carbon footprint, decrease our food miles, and reduce the amount of waste that goes into landfill each year.
Feel free to have a look around I Am Hunter, and when it’s live, My Life On The Land. Check out our articles and videos, as well as our tutorials and short courses.
