I guess I’m not the only one that has noticed the negative stereotypical characterizations of hunters in our crime dramas on TV. Kathy Ethling in the St Loius Post Dispatch this past Sunday had a good read about how the image of hunters on TV has changed. Gone are the days of Mayberry when hunting was as common normal activity to now where hunting is mistakenly portrayed as a step in the progression of becoming a serial killer.
Would you like to wow your friends with your ability to predict who, in a TV crime or legal drama, will eventually be found to be the killer or all-around bad guy or gal? Well, just zero in on anyone who is 1.) a hunter; 2.) has mounted deer or taxidermy animals — ducks, fish, etc. — hanging on the walls; or 3.) wearing fur. Just like that you will have nailed down the identity of the TV villain probably 99 times out of 100.
