    Hunt Quietly - Matt Rinella's new website and podcast

    This is Matt Rinella. I’m very interested in respectfully discussing my stance with people that disagree with me on the podcast. I sincerely invite people that struggle with my perspective to reach out to me at [email protected]. One clarification. The only component of hunting social...

    Im so weary of this “nobody would care what Matt thinks if not for Steve” line. Steve wouldn’t be what Steve is if it wasn’t for Matt. When Matt shot his first elk, Steve was at home with his girlfriend. When Matt gunned his first bull, Steve was home with his girlfriend. When Matt arrowed...

    Im thinking about restarting the Depublicize, Deglorify, Demonitize social media campaign I suspended a year ago. It’d be devoted to many of the themes touched on in this thread and my Free Range American article. If some of you are concerned about loud-mouths on the web that hunt for shitty...

    I was joking about the ultimatum on the podcast. That said, Steve uninvited me for Christmas.

    That’s not my stance at all. I favor disincentivizing hunting for money and fame by making the posting of dead game to strangers taboo. Also, I oppose efforts to influence people to hunt in order to sell them products. Considerations of profit should play no role in inspiring people to hunt...

    I infinitely prefer being a research scientist and a no-name than a hunting celeb.

    It is not at all the same. It’s bragging over the sacred act of killing a sentient being for food. It’s not to be made a spectacle of for the likes of strangers. We need to wake up to the fact that bragging over dead animals is more consequential and perverse than bragging over basketball...

    These are good thoughts. Thanks. Yes, Newberg and Steve have been good for our reputation among non-hunters. What I take issue with is the crowding they cause on what were already overcrowded areas. It’s not that they’ve merely made nonhunters view hunters more positively, they’ve made...

    I’m trying to get a better sense of what differentiates hunters that are sympathetic to my viewpoint from those that are not. What % of your hunting is on private clkress5. Also, do you make money off hunting? Thanks.

    Ya, I keep hearing that some clothing salesman at an outerwear boutique is harshing on me.

    Yes, the influencers being so booty hurt is really hard to understand. Why do they care what some old llama wrangler thinks?? I half think it’s because of who my brother is, but my brother disagrees with me just as much as the other influencers do, so it seems like my viewpoint wouldn’t matter...

    Absolutely I have. You can’t imagine the work I put into that Free Range American article. I am a slow writer, and it took me a month of evenings to write that. I definitely want to hear what people think of it. I’m pretty disappointed nobody seems willing to weigh in on the more complicated...

    It’s Matt Rinella. I couldn’t resist weighing in. People that inspire people to hunt so they can sell them products invite the veterans to everyone else’s houses, not their own. They live in gated mansions on the hill. They hunt their fans private lands, fly to Alaska and other expensive...

    My article in Free Range American does a better job of laying out my points. One thing to keep in mind is that Steve and the other influencers had zero interest in increasing hunter participation prior to when they began making $ off hunting. Probably the best way to get more hunters afield...
