Legit Hunting Personalities

[Banded_spooney]

I can hate with the best of them. I’m all for a good insta hunter bashing thread but I never see anything on the other side.

I’m curious if anyone has first or second hand examples of where ‘famous’ hunters are legit killers or badass woodsmen?

I have one example of an overrated person first hand but second hand from a guide friend I know, I’ve heard Remi is a true killer.

Who is worth watching and listening to?

Tom Miranda-- guy comes across as super arrogant, but few others can say they have piled up the animals with a bow that he has.

Some true killers here on Rokslide too. Some I know personally that could give anyone a run for the money if they didn't have a "real" job cutting into thier hunting time.

 

[Mag_7s]

South Cox comes to mind.

@justin davis kills stuff.

Pronghorn guide service is a good FB follow, same with Timberland Outfitters.

Henry Ferguson kills good deer every year with a bow and does a lot of digiscoping; he is on IG/FB.

Corey and Donnie probably top my list for Elk hunters that have a camera following them around.

I have no respect for Tom. He said on a podcast he didn’t necessarily enjoy hunting but he was good at making hunting videos so that’s what kept him hunting.

A high body count does not equal a legit hunter in my book. Feel free to disagree, but you won’t change my mind.

The legit hunters I think of most have never heard of, so I’ll keep it that way.

He didn’t even say he “doesn’t necessarily enjoy hunting” he straight up said he doesn’t go hunting at all unless it is to make a hunting video. It’s just a job now for him.

I know it’s really only cool to hate on the meateater crew, but I’d say Steven Rinella, Janis Putelis and Ryan Callaghan seem pretty legit

Remi Warren and South Cox for sure!

 

[dtrkyman]

Tom Miranda, Chuck Adams, Fred Eichler and Remi Warren come to mind. Yep I am a bowhunter!

Dwight Schuh.

I like the meateater boys as well.

Not my thread, but I’d be interested to know who hasn’t sold themselves and us out to hunter recruitment and commercialization.

right. So he is in essence a market hunter.

I tend to do things I enjoy whether I am paid or not. It is not a stretch to conclude the only enjoyment he derived is from getting paid for a hunting video and not the hunting itself.

miranda was/is a heck of a trapper...

For the record he is definitely my lest favorite personality but he simply gets it done(super slam and sci world hunter), which is what this thread was about.

Really trying not to derail, but I’d love for hunting “celebrities” and their activities to fall under the commodification of wildlife.

Say what you want about their product, but a couple of the goHUNT guys are straight up killers, and they put their hunts out there periodically on the ‘tube. Brady Miller is a mule deer master (second only to Robby Denning in 2023, IMO), and Trail Kreitzer is a great archer and elk hunter especially.

Not necessarily hunting “celebrities,” but they’re out on social media and they’re definitely in the industry.

 

[rclouse79]

Ryan Lampers, South Cox, and Remi Warren all seem like guys I would actually enjoy hunting with. If their main motivation is online fame, they do a better job of hiding it than most.

 

[signing off]

In the whitetail, DIY realm, Dan Infalt is solid. And stayed away from the sell out game for a long time.
If he dropped his full time job and dropped helping others learn, no limit on his kill potential.

I’ve heard him say similar things about bow hunting and I was also put off. Hell of a trapper though
