    Unfollowing Hunting Social Media Will Make Hunting Better: Matt Rinella Essay

    1. No one is "fighting." We are discussing. 2. "Passion" for what? Stardom, fame, money, gear? All of us have a passion for hunting, yet some of us choose not to exploit it for our own self-interests then try to pawn it off as altruism or "growing the sport." Did you even read the article?

    Unfollowing Hunting Social Media Will Make Hunting Better: Matt Rinella Essay

    And every word the g.d. truth. I have a feeling that people who don't agree with Matt are the very people he's referring to. Guilty consciences. It's about time someone has the nads and gumption to call these people to the carpet on their bullshittery.

    Unfollowing Hunting Social Media Will Make Hunting Better: Matt Rinella Essay

    Perhaps you missed the the part where I said I did turn it off? Unfortunately, that doesn't stop the hunting woods from being overcrowded by people recruited by these DIY, public land advocates who make their name and money off exploiting these lands, then use their connections to run to...

    Unfollowing Hunting Social Media Will Make Hunting Better: Matt Rinella Essay

    Yes, ruined hunting. Directly and/or indirectly. I don't have a social media account on any platform other than forums where I go to to learn, seek help and provide help if I'm able. I used to, but what I saw on a daily basis from "hunters" (and other people, too) turned me off from it. It is...

    Unfollowing Hunting Social Media Will Make Hunting Better: Matt Rinella Essay

    I had not heard the term "adult onset hunter" preceded by a pound sign, or "hashtag" as the kids call it, until recent "trends" on social media made it vogue. People can deny social media and YouTube accounts are culpable all they want, but I've been a member on hunting and fishing forums for...

    Unfollowing Hunting Social Media Will Make Hunting Better: Matt Rinella Essay

    You are correct, but it also depends if we are using a forum like Rokslide to seek help or help others, or for your own hubris to brag about your kills and get follows to bolster your social media following. This is an excellent forum for gear and optics discussion, hence my presence here. I...

    Unfollowing Hunting Social Media Will Make Hunting Better: Matt Rinella Essay

    Excellent article. I wholly agree with Rinella. Unfortunately, in today's attention- starved society, turning off social media in the hunting industry won't happen. We need the adoration and validation as hunters through "likes." For many, that's frankly the only reason they take an animal's...

    Am I the only one?

    I'm in the same boat as you. I've had a pair of Leupold Mojave 10x42's for the past 9 years. They are serviceable, they've helped me find game and success in the field, but they are (were) relatively cheap and not good in lowlight. I've been mulling over spending about a grand on binos to...

    Am I the only one?

    I think people listen to certain podcasts by people who hunt and spend time afield behind glass way more days and weeks than the average guy like me. You hear about their successes and see their instagram page filled with trophies and think "they use alpha glass, and if I do too that could be me...

    Boot for bad ankles

    Funny, I've had the exact opposite experience with the Nevadas. They are a great boot, but not for me and my bad ankle. I've probably rolled my ankle badly 6 times in them since I purchased them in March 2020. I feel like their sole is too high and narrow, I can't feel the ground and once they...

    Which Maven?

    Wanting to upgrade current binoculars and have narrowed my search down to Mavens. Have a pair of 10x42 Leupold Mojave that have been serviceable hunting various terrain over the past decade. Looking primarily for binos to use on tripod but also not too big that I can't use comfortably in-hand...

    Nevada archery antelope 032, 034

    Drew these units as a non-resident. Pretty excited (and intimated) by the prospect of hunting out of state for the first time. Anybody else draw this tag or have previous experience in these units? Would love to hear stories or advice on how to be successful.
