Direct correlation between teenage( female) suicide and use of social media
This is closest I get
I don't twwwter orfacebook or any of that sheit
all my gear is second hand budget ,but animals birds that have fallen to it have never complained -altho im now the proud owner of NEW double hearing aids which could have spme impact on it!
I watch the hunting /spearfishing series on TV and enjoy them for what they are warts and allare more my preference though Peter Peeti of hunting aotearoa is a very good host in that he interacts with folk ,speaks and teaches te reo -related to the activity but in such a way as to keep you involved.
personally Ive taken a few photos of my adventures over the years and my memory has many tales to tell(inevitably against myself) but unless i feel inclined im not prone to spraying across social media.
Maybe the young ones can see what's a load of shit and its just us old farts that get our knickers in a twist over it. I have to say tho I haven't seen any duck shooting or fuk all hunting stuff on youtube etc I find it pretty boring, If I feel that way inclined I go for a shoot....
may be sarcastic may be a bad joke
I reckon you’ve thrashed this subject to death and most members will be sick of hearing about it.
Perhaps if you spent less time online and more time out hunting, the whole social influencer thing wouldn’t bother you so much.
It is what it is. It’s not going anywhere. Let it go man. You will feel much better about life
Let it go.... Yip great movie scene that one.....Kenny I think was called.as for thrashed to death.... Nah never mentioned it before...you must be confused.

At the end of the day, it's only money. Nothing to get your knickers in a twist over unless you don't have any. Time, that is the real commodity for me!
There is bullshit and advertising everywhere, it comes down to individual reputation as to who you want to watch on YT
Re the extra ammo used on duck videos, I note that in all toothpaste commercials they lay a whole line along the brush but you only need about a quarter of what they use, if that
The video influencers are just the latest version of that mate that we all had growing up who wanted to tell us how to hunt/ fish/ build a fire - you know the type
Sometimes that mate was right and stayed a friend, sometimes that mate was full of it so you just let him go cos he talked too much shit
A lot of kids these days have pretty good bullshit meters
This is why the NZDA HUNTS program is so useful. Grounded, no bullshit, applicable, practical.
The worse UTubers to me are not the sponsored flash Harry's but the ones on the other end. Unedited, alcohol, fowl mouthed, unethical. So called "real" but actually no more than louts. There's a couple of them.
Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing, and right-doing, there is a field. I will meet you there.

Sooo ive made a couple Videos on yt, i like to think of them as a new version of a photo album, so when im older or if something happens to me there will be someway for my kids to still see me, there is possibly some attention whore in there as well but im not sure.
alot can happen in editing, i have edited out misses and changed the order of things as they happened in hunts to make things flow better and i have removed things that might cause embarrassment to others.
the flash gear thing is an interesting topic, i like nice things, always have, and it makes it easier when a company comes to you and says ill give you 50% off to use this expensive gear, or would you like to try some of this and just post about it if you like it.... i have a very small channel and it happens to me so i hate to think what the bigger guys get offered.
anyway im rambling, if ya like it watch it, if ya dont, its all good, just be nice
Im just a wannabe

yea i agree, i have made some with too much swearing for sure, but there are some creatures out there, wish i could find the one of the guy wo]ho stabbed is barrel full of dirt then showed his trick to clear it by firing a pulling a projectile and firing it....
and agree the hunts program is great, we are just starting it here in taranaki
I just feel sad for the social media hunters. I've met one or 2 and it comes across to me as a ego stroking exercise like; look at me this great fearless amazing hunter who seeks self gratification.
The other side to it to is alot of the social media types all show very obvious landmarks which gives away where they've been and I'm pretty sure there's a few of us who've had some of possies ruined by this( I have).
For the above 2 points I don't watch much social media hunting. I'd rather be out there actually hunting than reading or watching it and I feel a heap better for it too!
I watch a bit of NZ-based YouTube hunting and put myself in the still young (but probably too cynical) category. I am well aware that all the flash gear being used is nice-to-have rather than must-have. Every single game animal I've ever taken was with a second-hand rifle that cost under $800, paired with scopes ranging between $250 and $500 new.
I think young people are very aware of social media marketing and can spot a paid partnership from a mile off. Having grown up with the internet I'd say we are less prone to online foolery than the oldies.
I'd say that only now after a few years of actively hunting and shooting on the cheap, I may have reached the point where spending a bit of money on a nicer scope, quality binos and a range finder might benefit me. As for my cheap rifles, they shoot perfectly well and don't see why they would need replacement. For a brand new shooter, I agree with your point that it's unnecessary to spend big money.
I haven't got passed the early twenties female gym/exercise influencers, why the hell would I want to watch some dude using gear I can't afford, in places I can't afford access to, shoot deer/that/chamois?
Nice looking women in skintight next to nothing clothing has much more appeal.
