I encountered the same things at times but I live in a rural area myself but I don't think anything of hunting is not masculine I lived with people who rarely Hunted for food and never hunted for trophy
Out of the hunting for a trophy, just plain wrong but hunting for food is you know getting food
But it's also the old Crocodile Dundee thing you know don't kill something unless you plan to eat it
Also I'm just going to State this straight up I grew up what people who that hunt that often but they also did other masculine things for example work on cars
