Kifaru Thread

[Decker9]

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.

It wasn’t the video, It was their comment in the comment section of the video that really topped it off, throwing out any doubt that ethics are in their vocabulary. When the comment is posted under Kifaru cast, it opened up more then one name to go with it. I won’t be an ass and post it. Someone else can if they want though.

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.

Watched it twice. Thought to myself, damn that sucks. Been there before. Hmm, didn't put anything in there about not retrieving the goat. Well, moving on.

Didn’t they say when they got off the mountain that his goat wasn’t recoverable or did I just put two and two together?

I’d much rather watch a guy shrug off losing a goat than someone filming themself crying after shooting an animal.

I’m 98.7% sure they said it was unrecoverable.

The point is that if you have to guess or assume what happened because it wasn't in their "film" then their "film" isn't very good. I've never been lucky enough to hunt goats but I've watched a lot of films so I've seen a LOT of goats falling off cliffs. Sometimes they still recover it, sometimes they can't, but they always talk about it and explain what happened. To not do that is lazy and it puts hunters in a bad light. It's inexcusable for a major brand like Kifaru to put that stuff out there. I'm glad they've listened and corrected the problem.

You are 100% incorrect.

Kifaru had another video recently with South Cox where they were competing and both gut shot mule deer and didn't recover them. Seems to be the year in video. It happens but I wouldn't be making videos to showcase it.

Nah. I remember someone saying it. I think it was Frank. Plus the guide gestured it while looking down at it.

 

[LongWayAround]

Didn't they shoot a caribou in front of three grizzlies, then watch it get eaten?

Oh cool, you have one of those memories that is so good you can remember stuff that never happened! My teenage daughter can do that too, it's super impressive!

Good thing we have you to help us change what we remember but I only watched the video once, i didn't put it on repeat to nitpick the hell out of it and didn’t memorize every second of it, thanks for setting us straight with your better memory.

Either way, didn’t bug me, wasn’t their best film and I’ve seen way worse. Maybe there was more filming on it and the video didn’t turn out or they forgot to hit record, only so much you can fit in a video, guess they could of put in a quick text on screen saying it but really did you need them to tell you directly, if they had would you really feel any different as the outcome is exactly the same, unrecovered goat.

There’s a lot of guys on this thread that have too much time on there hands nitpicking everything little thing they see on the internet.

A lot of you need to spend more time out hunting and maybe you’d realize shit like this happens. Then people won’t have to hold your hand through their videos.

Frank said in the video they couldn't recover it. This point was brought up in the original thread. I went back and watched the video again, and after seeing frank acknowledge it, I made a post about it in the original thread.

And yet here you are nitpicking what other people are nitpicking.

You win the internet!

 

[Elkangle]

Video wasn't the best but not the worst...they owned up to not explaining the context of what went down multiple times...not sure what else some of you want...keep crying about it if that helps but I'd recommend focusing on other things in life

 

[Justin Crossley]

Just a reminder that we don't put up with needless arguing. If you watched the video and have an opinion, that is fine. Just be respectful. We aren't here for personal arguments and we won't put up with it.

 

[RyanT26]

I think if you’re going to film yourself on hunts and then hype it up on Facebook, Instagram, and youtube expect to be criticized if it turns into a shit show, or you make a bad shot, or it turns into a gun fight.

That said I’ve made bad shots and fortunately lost animals. The differences I’m not trying to make my living in the hunting industry and I didn’t send out hype videos before the hunt, I just went hunting.

It never takes the biggest fanboys long to surface.

Some of you would buy their underwear on Only Fans if they were for sale.

Used or new?

I did not like the video. I love mountain goat hunting and do it every year. I also love those animals. I can spot them on the mountain from my front deck and often observe them when out hiking. The thought of shooting one and it rolling down to an unretrievable position sucks. If that happened to me I would be PISSED at myself. I would be rehashing my decisions and trying to learn what went wrong. If the hunt was being videoed my feelings after the fact would be a BIG part of the story.

If they release the video and tell the story better then that will help.

When hunting in the mountains I believe the right thing to do is to think where the animal will end up if you kill it. I have passed up billies twice because I was unsure about the recovery. I have also messed up when goat hunting but I own those mistakes and learn from them.

Mistakes happen to everyone but we can learn from them and learn to MINIMIZE them. Any hunting video that comes out and mistakes were made then those need to be addressed as part of the story.

that's the one hunt i can think of that i would prefer a guide or at least someone experienced hunting goats... i would be paranoid of losing one not spending much time in that type of terrain, and not having a good read on what's a no go for where a goat is... i think last year was the first year even applying for that tag, for that reason
