What is missing? Todays Hunting Films/Content

[Eastman528]

Cmon man, you asked.

Fair enough, I have been on here long enough to know what I was getting into

I don't know is that how it works?
Did I even say that in my original post?... Being a "Youtuber" is about the farthest thing from where my interest lies.
Yes I have uploaded a total of 1 hunting films to Youtube several years ago to make it easy to share with my grandparents of all things, my wife was 6 months pregnant at the time when she killed her first elk and now our daughter is 7 and thinks its pretty cool. I don't think at the time I even knew making money on YouTube was a thing, maybe I would have gotten in on it I dunno?!

I mean this post is literally in the Photography/Filming forum if everyone hates it so much then why waste your time trolling in here.

“Hate it so much”?
Did I even say that in my original reply?….

Asking what you are trying to get out of this whole thread?

Your original post asked “What type of films and content resonate with you as a hunter the most.” And then “There is still a spark there at times to film something but I would have to have real meaning and purpose to go through the effort.” (I’ll film it if it is something you would want to see.”)

Seems like when someone asks what is missing or what types of gaps are out there they are looking to fill those gaps. Is that what you are after?

I watch ZERO hunting content on Youtube, none. I’d rather be hunting than watching some kid half my age hunt. Watching tv in general is a waste of time.

Don't make content to sell advertising

So lets say hypothetically... someone made a hunting film that revolved around honoring their dad who passed away in a tragic accident, who was an avid hunter and had a huge impact on the person. That someone decides to share it because it might positively impact others outside of their immediate circle. They are obviously a narcissist, delusional and really just wanting to feed their inflated ego because nobody can have motives other than self promotion right?

Even in a situation like that there is an element of "look at me I'm special because life happened to me, but in a uniquely meaningful way that is different than everyone else, so let me tell you about it".

Online Forums, youtube, instagram, magazines, books, etc are all media. And if they are about Hunting then they are hunting media.

I find it funny how people can rack up 2000 posts on a forum (that promotes hunting) furthering the forums reach and revenue from ads but with those same fingers criticize another form of media that does the same thing.

Because it’s not the same thing.

Yes it is. Hunting media is hunting media and you are a consumer and producer of it mr 7,363.

All that stupid bullshit should just go away and everyone who enjoys hunting would be the better for it.

Stop filming and being dbags. Just go hunt.

I like shows that introduce you to different types of hunting/environments and the characters that they meet on that journey.
To many make it all about themselves. The ones that show you the little interactions along the way with random people and situations not directly associated with the “ kill “ are my favourites.
The “ hard sell “trap that many fall into in regards too merchandise/ sponsors etc wears thin in my opinion.
If you really like the show/ person then you will recognise and research the gear and equipment they are using .
It’s the more genuine and real world honest accounts of the hunt that get my attention……

Why does this have to be made or shared on the web? Is it helping that person grieve? What is the end goal? I have seen plenty of heart string type content. I used to consume a ton up until about 4 years ago when i realized me watching some shmuck hunt my state or neighboring states was actively making it harder on myself to draw tags. Also dead and dying animals should be somewhat of a personal thing and don’t need to be offered up to the World Wide Web for likes or adoration or sponsors or whatever… and yes I whole heartedly support hunt quietly… Matt has a hell of a backbone for speaking out about what mega social media is doing to our lifestyle.
