Hi Johnt
Welcome to the forum

What I think is:
If we use "for" as a conjunction meaning "because", we should say:
For we hunters.
"hunters" is the subject.



If we use "for" as a preposition meaning "to", we should say:
For us hunters.
"hunters" is the object and receiver.

I agree.

For us hunters, this new hunting licence is far too expensive. For we hunters aren't very rich, you know!
Take 'hunters' out and you still have a grammatical sentence - that's how you know it's right.
