Abstract

Hunting has always had multiple strands of meaning, and we cannot hope to comb them out in a short essay. What we can explore, however, is the contradiction that lies at the core of American sport hunting. At one moment, hunting has operated in American culture as a rite of democracy and at the next, as a rite of aristocracy. That pendulum swing continues today.
