Thread: YouTube star "Rogee" the great New Zealand hunting 'n' shooting ambassador.

I watched a few of his YouTube videos last night after seeing this post. They aren't really my style personally, but I can't see what the problem is.

He's running a YouTube channel, of course he's going to shout out his sponsors who help fund it.

He and his mates seem to do a much better job than most hunters at visually inspecting each other's rifles to ensure they are safe. Good on them.

They are shooting at long range and for the most part seem to be quite accurate. He did make a shot that looked like it hit the guts, but can all of us say we've never accidentally misplaced a shot? I can't, but my f-ups aren't on YouTube for everyone to judge.

The fact that more than one guy shoots at the animal is probably a good safety net that dramatically decreases the chance of an unethical kill given the long ranges.

What is the actual purpose of this thread - apart from a public mocking?
Its not what I like to see on the forum.

To be honest there are far worse hunting videos posted on youtube than Rogees.

The type of language used on some of them is nothing short of atrocious !!!

I met him and had a chat last year, seemed like a good sort in person. He is ex NZDF , thats where his long range shooting started.

There's quite a few decent kiwi youtube hunting channels now .

I'm not really a fan of the close circle jerk groups, i.e., BoB.
I watched a few of his YouTube videos in the past and don't really have an issue with them, I've seen better and seen alot worse.
But at least they are honest videos, showing the good shots and the not so good shots, which are normally edited out.

You can’t know someone by watching their youtube. Online content is just a product of whatever the creator wants to portray. Anyone who watches my videos has no idea about what sort of person I am, it’s highly edited and filtered content.

I agree with the above ref online slandering, my apologies for taking the bite. The topic hits a personal spot for me and a few others.

Hahahahahaa

You too could always hide the negative comments in your online portrayal... if you so needed to ��


Was wondering how the Roggee Bob circle jerk was going down with a few on here....

Interesting thread.. interesting ways to play too from most accounts of people who were nearer the uhh, gang in question

An give the younger kids a taste of grooming perhaps ... which once older makes ya despise em.. ayy 😎

Whats your youtube channel mate?

I've just watched a couple and found them quite easy watching compared to some of the other local channels.
After watching a recent compilation video where he gives quite a good warning about negative comments and trolling, I can't help wondering if someone got slapped for bagging him.

Counting down for the shot, will be for building excitement for the Audience.
