Well, the keepers of the moon have to eat too. They have a history of being hunters which favour shortbows, they're only doing what's natural.
If it came down to it, anyone that kills anything in the shroud is a "poacher". In 1.0, killing anything in the forest without the elemental's permission was "poaching", and made them angry enough to attack people / generally do horrible things. So...
Except they're not evil. They're just trying to make gil/eat.
You probably saw in the main storyline the part where you're at the pub in the shroud, and a Redbelly and a Couerlclaw fight with you, to help you take out the guy which wasn't exactly playing fair? Yeah. They're not evil.
I've noticed this on my Keeper male. In the quest where you have to enlist the poachers help, when talking to the Coeurl Claw member, she takes a more flirtatious manner towards you. However, she simply speaks in a slightly more hostile manner on my Duskwhite Female. Pretty good detail if you ask me.
That was a LONG time ago. I can only just barely remember that quest.
A little over a month, really.
But anyway; nothing in this game, other than the paragons, but we'll see, can actually be called "evil", not really. it's just different cultures and different ways. Everyone's got their reasons, though. Anyway, the Couerlclaw poachers are outlaws, no doubt about it. They're certainly not evil, though.
