Counter-point: If everyone decided they didn't need to film every hunt they went on for the purpose of sales and marketing there would be a lot less to criticize.
HAHA! Let's be realistic that's not going to happen in any industry outside of an EMP.
Who are you referring to when you say, everyone?
How did they not care about the goat or recovering it? We have no idea what they felt or tried to do that day on the mountain. I've never met Frank before and I'm betting you haven't either. Maybe he tried for hours to get to that goat unsuccessfully but the person editing the video didn't include the footage because it was long, boring, and didn't end with recovery.
I think who I'm referring to is pretty obvious. Everyone out there releasing videos of hunting in order to sell products...which is a LOT of people. I really don't have a problem with it to be honest, but the reality is that if you are going to be releasing content in order to drum up business for your brand you better have your $*** together and show hunting a good light. If you fail at that you are going to get called out by people who are sick and tired of having to defend hunting from a bunch of people who only know about hunting from seeing online content.
Even though I don't typically agree with the must-be-guided rule in AK, this sentiment is one of the reasons it will remain in place and honestly provides an instance where I can actually back the rule. It was the guide's job to control this very emotion and he failed. It's his job to protect the population from the inevitable poor decisions made by people that have no local stake and could care less if they shoot a nanny or if a goat cliff jumps because they're on their once in a lifetime hunt in a unit they will never step foot in again and just need to get it done. From the sounds of it, the guide was a nonlocal as well; which is becoming more and more of a debate in AK hunting politics and this exact situation is one of the reasons.
I think that's kinda the point. They hunted because they wanted to and they had it filmed because they wanted to. Not being a smart ass towards you but were they forced to be filmed?
This notion that someone can tell what another individual values or thinks about something based on a video will never cease to amaze me. Seems awful arrogant.
I might be wrong but I thought Franks shot was 180 yards?
From what i remember it was a short shot, the goat then almost went down where it would stop but then went the wrong way and slid down down down, then another goat came out and his buddy shot it.
Having a different opinion about a video doesn't make someone a fanboy.
From what I have gathered, people in the original thread and this one are upset they didn't cry about it on film. It shows real emotion when you cry.
Yeah that’s what it’s sounding like, guess if you don’t cry or scream about it you don’t care.
Correct. I would say the same on all counts.
Lol....did you even watch the video? They shot a goat, filmed it falling off a mountain, and never spoke of it again! Nobody wants them to cry about it, but if you are telling a story you need to TELL THE STORY! Pretty simple stuff really.
