Hunting and social media

[WKR]

Talking about YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook here as their reach far exceeds that of the forums. Although yes this site and others like it are a type of social media, im not including it in this poll.

I watch utube movies and videos on current events/history/gym stuff. A few forums and that is it. Never been on instagram or facebook. No desire to do so other than maybe starting some facebook marketplace ads.

What I love is people trashing Youtube influencers while they are watching the Mandalorian on the Disney channel. You need to re-think your priorities.

I have IG and follow a few lower key guys/gals. Some from this very forum.

I hate it, but also partake. Unfortunately it’s not going anywhere so may as well use it for my benefit.

I dont follow or subscribe to any of it. There was a time where I would watch videos and even had participated in some with a friend that is actively making YouTube content. But as the years go by and after seeing what goes on behind the scenes im now disgusted by it. Also all of the "how to draw tags" and "burn your points" videos really just piss me off. None of it seems to do any good even although these guys say they are conservationists

Except it doesn't bother me one bit that I don't have a jet pack.

I gotta say I'm a little surprised by the poll results so far

The sooner YouTube/IG/Facebook demonitizes hunting platforms the better, that's all I have to say.

 

[FLATHEAD]

I dabble, but dont subscribe or "follow" anyone.
But I'm "WEIRD", never had a FB,IG,Twitter, or anything
else account.

Social media has good and bad points regarding hunting. Social media makes it look like trophy animals are hideing around every Bush.

I’d love a jet pack.

Mandalorian is an entertaining fairy tale, the “hunting people” are saying “this is hunting” - “i am a hunter”. Diff stuff for sure.

It is off season and this is a heavy DIY hunt forum. Safari club or other more pay for hunt type groups will support more hunt shows/videos.

It should bother you that you are paying money for people to groom your kids.

Let's get some more votes in

Agreed.

 

[crrakcrrak]

I follow a few utube channels and i have learned a lot over the years.

They're already groomed, and my wife and I did that.

 

[Aluminum Rain]

Sorry, i am not seeing your connection between the Mandalorian and kid grooming.

Pretty much the only hunting videos I watch are just random guys documenting their hunt. And I like to see pictures from people i personally know on Facebook. I'll occasionally watch meateater if it's a public land hunt. Steve has huge platform and I'm always curious to see how hunting is portrayed to the masses.

Overall I don't really care. I think it's cool when I guys film their own hunt. But the tier 1 operator hunting influencers are cringy as hell.
