I don't know, maybe. My closest friend who hunts has a much less fraught relationship with his dad than the one you postulate. They're from up north, and hunting is just a normal thing people do--and a lot of people in the Cities moved down from up north this generation or the one before it. So for my friend there isn't any question of proving anything, there's a question of spending time with his dad and acquiring venison, both of which he favors.
