What is missing? Todays Hunting Films/Content

[Hnthrdr]

All this hate for social media influencers is really feeding my soul today y'all, thank you!

It took me a while to figure out what about hunting promotion/media I dislike so much, but I think it comes down to this... Making money off of hunting and the killing of wildlife is antithetical to the North American Model.

Now this might be too far for most people, but I am against outfitting and guiding for the same reason.

Almost lost it when some shmuck on insta my buddy shows me is blasting unit numbers to his 100k followers… and he is a UTard which is typical, can’t guys enjoy hunting and not exploit the resource?!

Probably not a popular view but YouTube hunting videos will eventually be one of the many nails securing the coffin lid on hunting.

Not wrong… used to watch them, now I can’t hardly stomach them anymore it’s like actively cheering on your own demise…

I have always wondered what level of narcissism it takes to post videos of yourself on the internet for strangers to like, and is it an unhealthy level?

That being said I watch a lot of hunting videos in the winter, it helps dull my seasonal depression. The worst are the vlog style talking heads, along with the excessive self or product promoting variety. The best are a group of buddies with one who wants to film and no one who is trying to be a star. Back story is neither here nor there for me, it's just a hunt after all. Unless you have a lot of history with this particular hunt or animal.

I've made a couple videos of some of my "bucket-list" hunts. Man do they bring back the memories vividly. I upload them to YouTube set on PRIVATE and share the link with the guys who were with me on the hunt and my wife. Nobody else needs to see them. The beauty of this is you can take sweeping shots of the landscape and skyline with no fear of giving away your spot! Someday my kids will get to watch them and hopefully enjoy seeing their dad doing what he loved in his younger years.
