Another influencer in the pisser?

The world would be better if Instagram and Facebook banned hunting content.

I decided that guy was a d-bag listening to him on the S2H podcast.

He said he had five freezers of game meat but was going on about how all he ate was buttered ribeyes.

Something else about not buying supplements, but plug for his tumeric...

GFY

I always wonder how some of those guys manage to have so many tags. It helps of you don't actually have the tag, I suppose.

Might have just happened. By the way he disappeared himself from the entire internet I’m expecting the story to be pretty bad or embarrassing.

And the fact it looks like he sold his rifle cover and glassing pad to peax.

no more hunting for him means no more hunting with his daughter’s too. Social media is the devil… literally.

 

[atmat]

He and his wife were always peddling nonsense. I’m not particularly surprised by this.

I don't think social media is the devil in this case, I just think these dudes have always been D-bags and are just dumb enough to expose themselves publicly.

I'm willing to bet that MANY hunters on this forum are WAY better hunters than most of these "you tube" hunters. Most of them strictly do it for money and fame, we do it because it's truly a passion.

That being said, I do believe that there is some on there that do it right.

If it’s true that Peax bought out Lampers stuff they need to go on the same list as nightforce and the other muley cheat sponsors.

It seems you took the previous "dumbest comment of 2025" as a challenge.

1. Politics: There's a significant and relatively powerful sector of the US population that would ban all hunting if given the opportunity. People tend to only care about what directly affects them. The worst thing that could happen to hunting is for the general public to become oblivious to its existence. When the next crazy lefty takes office and tries to regulate us to death or sell off public land we're screwed without the media and the "influencers" who have the reach to influence the general population. Like it or not the future of hunting needs them. Unless you have a better idea? I can say with confidence that it's not the gatekeepers here.

2. Economics: The reason we enjoy the gear that we do at "reasonable" prices is solely because there is a market for these products that incentivizes companies like Exo Mtn to bring to market quality products. The scale of the customer base is why this gear is only expensive and not at unobtainable prices. You can think social media and these "influencers" for scaling a small niche market to something that can demand innovation at cost effective prices.

3. Morality: The fact that so many people here would condemn a man because the state has accused him of breaking their rules is incredibly disappointing. As of now I've seen no details on the offenses nor have I seen a conviction. Did I miss it? FWIW, I've never heard of the guy before today.

I’m sorry you feel the need to make personal insults. Have a nice day.

Sponsoring somebody vs buying their product copyright are different in my eyes.

Where was the personal insult? You don't expect us to treat every comment you make as the most insightful word's since Socrates do you? You're not going to take anything less than that as personal insult to you as an individual are you? We all say dumb things from time to time. Those dumb things deserve to be called out and we should all be man enough to accept the criticism when it comes.

 

[StuckoYota99]

Is there a link to the actual charges? Instead of a screenshot of a Facebook/instagram post?

When you said I made the dumbest comment of 2025 rather than responding in a conversational manner. Did you forget you did that? You aren’t looking to debate in good faith, you are just making insults because you don’t agree rather than trying to convince me of your opinion.

Anyways, have a nice day.

I can see that. But Peax is looking to benefit from Lampers fame he achieved partially by poaching.

I should also add that if these charges are legit.

 

[KenLee]

Those aren't basic wildlife charges.

You're right, they have brought hunting to the general public. Which we do need.

What we dont need is these morons to be poaching and the general public sees it and gets even more turned off, or have someone new to hunting, see them poach and think its okay to poach.

If you dont like the spot light, don't become famous.

Don't say spotlight. I'll be dusting off the Q-beam.

Not familiar with this dude, guess I didn't miss much!

I didn't say that. I insinuated it in a tongue in cheek manner. I'd apologize, but frankly I expect grown men to have thicker skin than that.
No offense to the non-veterans here, but this is precisely why veterans tend to limit our social circles to other veterans. I refuse to walk on egg shells for other grown men.

In all fairness, I didn't just respond to your one liner with an insulting one liner. I took time to try to explain why your stance was such a bad idea. I did fail to remark on why your call for outright censorship by powerful corporations was such a horrible idea. 1. I assumed that's implied. 2. I was incapable of politely making that argument without outright insults. 3. I assumed in good faith that your one liner was hyperbolic and it wasn't a hill you intended to die on.

[Muledeerfanatic]

I met a few outdoors folks growing up and the only cool people were Fred Bear, Chuck Adams and Dwight Schugh or however its spelled
Met the Eastmans when I was like 16 and talk about some douche bags

I have thick skin, I’m not bothered at all. I just don’t see any need to go on a side quest conversation with somebody who dosent want to debate in good faith, when you skip straight to insults rather than trying to convince somebody of your opinion there’s no reason to converse with you. Notice this was civil until you chimed in. Now we are derailing a thread with a meta conversation. I think I’ve wasted enough time responding to you now.

I’m glad you like social media hunting stuff, I think it’s taken a lot away from the sport. I think “influencers” are a dime a dozen and none of them are worth following. I don’t believe social media portrays reality.

Most veterans I know don’t feel the need to publicly announce it though.
