My fear is the younger generation will pay the big price of exclusion. If I never hunt another day I have had a great life doing so and the one thing they can not take is my memories. With that said, I ain't giving up just yet, I am still breathing and upright!
QuoteHunting content where there's no depiction of graphic animal injuries or prolonged suffering. - Hunting videos where the moment of kill or injury is indiscernible, and with no focal footage of how this dead animal is processed for trophy or food purposes"
Quote from: derek on September 21, 2021, 10:03:29 AMyoutube is a platform widely used by non-hunters. Why they would even click on a hunting video is beyond me, but they certainly do. One thing I personally dislike in hunting videos and/or pictures across any social media platform is highlighting the graphic. Sitting there videoing the turkey flopping, the head on that bird that was just a little too close, the slow-motion reel of that close - devastating shot.. the stuff that isn't that respectful towards the animal we are pursuing. We all know that kind of stuff exists in this game, but when that's what is turned into the "cool" part.. there is a problem. If myself as a hunter cringes when I see these things, what does the non-hunter think.. particularly the one that's on the fence and wants to accept what we do. If YouTube establishes a rule to curb that kind of portrayal, I can't say I hate it.
Quote from: TurkeyReaper69 on September 21, 2021, 06:36:05 PMCorporate America will do what they want, whenever they want. Whether it makes sense or not. Nudity is allowed on YouTube as far as its considered "educational", not sure how one of these crappie fileting or dove breasting videos wouldn't be considered "educational". Oh well, as Derek said though I can't really hate on YouTube for this as it may save our reputation towards some of the anti-hunter crowd.What I will comment on was the other day SeekOne posted on their Instagram story a desperate cry for help begging their following to purchase merchandise off their website "to continue to support them" after YT demonetized their videos. As far as the demonetizing goes I have absolutely no sympathy for anyone who will choose to cry about that. As a previous commenter mentioned there's over 11 million job vacancies in the U.S. currently, go get you a real job and quit banking on that turkey money. I recall watching SeekOne in their early days when they had just a handful of subscribers, I didn't have anything against them when they'd pulled out the camera after getting off of work for the day and heading to the deer stand. But sadly now I just do not care to watch them as they are dipping into the traveling turkey game and western big game hunts (gee, I wonder why...follow the money trail people). As well as the endless sponsorships, promotions, etc. I really would love to see all these guys like SeekOne, THP, Pinhoti have to get back up and get a real job again. After all, I'm sure they'd enjoy their time in the woods a bit more as it wouldn't feel like such tedious work trying to entertain fans for their livelihood. The few YT channels I do enjoy watching are just normal guys who carry day jobs and take off of work to hunt/fish. Not hunt and film for a living. Examples would be The Hunting Beast, Bayside Legion, Panola Productions. As someone pointed out, Yes I used to complain about the Michael Waddell, Primos, Shockey, etc videos on cable TV being out of touch with the style of hunter/ hunting lifestyle I have. Along came Pinhoti and I thought that was my saving grace as it is similar to my style of turkey hunting. Well, I didn't foresee at the time how quickly the common man's turkey hunting would be commercialized.
Quote from: deerhunt1988 on September 23, 2021, 07:36:04 AM#MakePublicLandGreatAgain#KeepUrbanHuntingAliveSeriously. Both are relevant in this situation. SeekOne and their imitators have been the catalyst for urban hunting bans/proposals across the . Some things are best left unglamorized, one of those being hunting in the suburbs.
