The Culture is Changing is the second program in a twelve-part series produced by the Vermont Folk Life Center on deer hunting. The series explores hunting from an insider?s perspective.

The Culture is Changing examines how rural Vermont culture is being transformed because fewer people are hunters. Regardless of your personal feelings about hunting, the notion of how traditions and culture change over time is intriguing. The Vermont Folk Life Center has a rich legacy of collecting oral histories of Vermont life and this particular segment is comprised of several interview clips that are well recorded and edited to convey the impact of this change and the loss felt by those who continue to hunt.

Because there?s only narration at the open, additional context may be necessary in order to broadcast this piece. Deer Stories would be appropriate for any stations located in a rural area where there is a tradition of hunting.
