Other classic give aways are the use of "team" all the time amongst others. I am Air Force and have spent quite a bit of time working alongside Army guys and can pick it a mile away.
It does my head in to the point i just flat out refuse to watch the vids.

Must be an age bracket 'thing'. The guys I hunt with, we are all ex Army. But Viet Nam era and slightly later. And no one talks like that. Occasionally an acronym will slip out by mistake.

Oh, and we wouldn't dream of advertising ourselves like that by having a YT channel... Must be an age thing.

Back to the animals. Only ever leave them if I can't find them that evening. Which is not very often at all. And never when I had a dog.

This time of the year the heat can start an animal going off just while you look at it. We mainly do evening hunts, and will gut and throw into a creek bend with some stones in their gut cavity, out of the way of the morning sun. Have not had one that being underwater has buggered. Come back the next morning and break down into boneless joints prior to the trip back out.

No eels where we hunt but
