This is Why You Remove State Names from YouTube Videos!!!!!!!

[deerhunt1988]

Look up your favorite YouTuber who has recently visited Kentucky, and see where they killed at!

https://app.fw.ky.gov/telecheckreview/

Go ahead, give it a try!

The same can be accomplished with information requests to other states.

[scattergun]

Kentucky has an online database that they will just willy nilly let anyone with a computer access? What kind of garbage is that? If I were a Kentucky resident, I'd be pissed!

[GobbleGitr]

Seems like that is using personal data without permission to me

[deerhunt1988]

You can get way more than this from information requests. Florida will give you names, addresses, e mails, application choices, etc. You can find out who applied for Florida quota hunts, when they applied, the WMAs they selected, etc.

How would you feel if people had access to this info in MS and could trace your kills? You've made it clear that you despise Youtubers but you're crossing into a whole new territory with this. For someone who claims to be "concerned with public land", you are taking a big fat dump on KY public lands by revealing this info. Seems very hypocritical to me...

[Crghss]

Deerhunt1988, this is your problem with this KY site? That people can look up the youtubers kill?

Lot wrong with the KY site but that ain't one of 'em.

Have at it. Most of mine are private in Mississippi.

Just revealing one of many reasons why they should quit naming states. There's more info than this out there avaliable.

I have no problems with Kentucky's site.

I do have qualms about people exploiting our public lands for profit and fame.

They pulled the same thing here in NY for handgun owners a few years back.

Nope, I'm honestly not concerned enough to look, but we both know you wouldn't want people having that kind of access to your public land kills.

Speaking of not naming state names...

Guilty of the same thing you're lambasting the Youtubers for, correct?

[El Pavo Grande]

Zero reason that information should be shared.  Makes no sense.

Exactly! There's definitely no reason to spotlight it when the vast majority of people didn't know it was available.

If you think me posting pictures from a few states on this forum and YouTubers posting videos with 50-100k+ views  is even remotely comparable, well it's just really not worth my time to respond.

But here I am, having to explain to you how a few forum posts that a couple hundred or so see aren't even remotely comparable to videos that tens of thousands (or even a hundred thousand) view in a matter of weeks. And in some instances, the producers are even being paid by the state game and fish agencies to produce it.

Yeah, I was guilty of naming states a few years back. But insinuating that it is even comparable to the other metrics of today is just silly.

A couple forum posts with a dead turkey and state named, go have at it. But when you put it on video with multiple turkeys gobbling, a few hundred thousand followers, there is definitely a much greater impact.

And we will continue to see the impacts on public land hunting in the future. Mark my words.

The metrics of today evolved from those of yesterday. Let that sink in for a bit...

My heavens where has everyone been?  The Kentucky telecheck system has been in operation for years for turkey, deer and elk.  IMO a great tool for everyone.  I lived there for nine years and review it often to see how the kills have increased or decreased over the years.  I noted that this spring the harvest increased in one of my old spots with a good percentage of jakes.  Should bode well for next spring.  Some do whine about the feature that allows checks by last name.  The honest hunters don't seem too concerned.  The ones that don't care for that one antlered deer per season rule may.  Pretty hard to brag about that late season buck when you've already taken one during early bow.
Add - at the end of every season I use the "by name" feature to check on some old hunting buddies and local celebrities.  From memory I believe Harold Knight took two gobblers this year in Trigg County Ky.  Bet he won't care if it's mentioned.
