Some local food activists are taking their movement to a whole new territory: urban hunting.
"Jackson Landers, an insurance broker by day, teaches a course here called Deer Hunting for Locavores. Mr. Landers, 31, started the classes earlier this year for largely urban adults who, like him, did not grow up stalking prey but have gravitated to harvesting and cooking their own game.
He tailored his course to food-obsessed city people with lessons on deer biology, habitat and anatomy, and rounded out his students' education with field trips to a firing range to practice shooting and a session on butchery and cooking. One of the last lessons covered field dressing a freshly killed deer."
Hunting clubs are sprouting all around the nation, catering to urbanites looking to develop a closer connection to their food and the process through which it gets to their plates.
