Hey Alan,
Any way that a liberal sprout-eater becomes better educated about (or actually takes up) hunting is absolutely fine with me. It's what we as hunters want.
You have to remember that the vast majority of these folks were raised by ultra-liberal anti-hunting parents, in urban or heavily suburban neighborhoods. For them to change all of this and become converted to hunting in their middle age is nothing short of amazing.
I believe that we should all give it our 100% support. Their mantra of feeling the spirit of the animal is their understandable rationalization for setting aside a lifetime of different values. If this helps them get there, I am all for it.
Seek out these people and invite them to go hunting with you!
