Never woulda thought that it would have gotten this much attention lol. The man definitely has a hate club I wasn't aware of

Quote from: white0ak on February 10, 2024, 06:06:18 AMI dont consider a forum like this to be mainstream social media. Forums of this genre, truly focused on campfire style convo and education, arent focused on photos and chest beating. That goes for any sport or hobby forums, i.e.bodybuilding or fishing, etc.Its the "look at me" narcissism drug that is killing turkey hunting and the pinhoti types are the dealers and brand reps of this drug making money and fame off the addicts. I will not support social media influencers but im sure that call is just as good as a tom teaser or any other mass produced pot call.
Quote from: mookyj on February 04, 2024, 12:48:33 PMWow, such a long thread full of envy, and self-orbits. According to some replying here, anyone who promotes turkey hunting in any fashion is pimping turkeys. A rather lame exercise of "my turkeys, my spots." Very much in keeping with the tree-hugger preservationist folks, wanting it all to themselves, no changes, no newcomers, ever on public grounds no less... If the self-serving amongst us had it their way, final say. over a hundred years ago, there never would have been enough interest or critical mass of hunters, of community to ever witness the success of trap and transfer, wildlife management/research initiatives, and a grand era of increasing carrying capacities that resulted in a peak we once saw in the 1990s and early 2000s. The antis and birders refuse to pay for wildlife management as we all know, unless it excludes hunting. Seriously, in this thread, there is a full stop short of thinking it all the way through. Growth and interest in the resource and turkey hunting is what brought turkeys back from near extinction and it took folks promoting the resource and conservation practices to make it happen. Blame it on the magazines, book authors of the day. Maybe a sitting president.In CNY where I live, there is a ton of state land, where I seldom see another hunter, and very few trucks parked. I encountered far more hunters two decades ago. If we have it your way, the interest and the money will wither away on the vine, and we can revisit the 1930s-1950s all over again. Where exactly do you think the funding is coming from to pay for the research in untangling and mitigating the declines from a perfect storm of all causes? From hunters that want nobody else hunting "their birds" on "their public lands?" The video personality that some of you upset folks single out, is one of the few that publishes the good, and the not-so-much in a defeated gobbler. Far from the 100% kill fests and never-ending infomercial offerings. Gets his butt handed to him in many of the episodes I've seen, just like we all do, and not wall-to-wall hawking products. Truth be told if the nay-sayers here had the opportunity to hunt that many states each season, and make some kind of living with it, they would.. Since when is he the first to have calls made on contract? Would any call makers here be upset with him calling you up for an order? It can be said he promotes turkey hunting in a positive light even if he is killing "YOUR turkeys..." Pinhoti Apocalypse, Dave behind every tree...? Envy much? I remember silly drama like this in grade school. I digress."My turkeys" way of thinking deters future generations and does little to nothing to encourage them. I might label that as selfish, self-interest. I'll continue to be "selfish" in my writings, and books in the hope I might encourage others to enjoy the turkey woods as I do, God forbid, even the very public turkey woods I so enjoy...
