I just watched this latest video on YouTube put out by one of my favorite hunting and fishing channels, Hushin. I should say what used to be one of my favorite channels.

This hunt shocked me quite a bit because these guys are usually do it yourself types who hunt in some rugged country. However, watching them pull a stunt like this and calling it hunting strictly to get some views on their channel really made me lose some respect for them. Granted this is in New Zealand and not in the US where something like this is generally illegal, but still this 'hunt' was just a straight up killing, not hunting. I am all for filming the hunts that people participate in, and have much respect for guys who do it ethically like Big Fin. At a certain point it seems that some of these TV/YouTube hosts lose site of what is actually part of their values just to make a dollar. Once we make the tradition of being in the outdoors a profit scheme and disregarding ethics just to make a quick buck, it seems like the industry has gone too far. We see more and more people trying to get into this industry especially with the ease of internet access. Can you imagine how furious you would be to see someone pull this on a Big Horn ram! What does Hunt Talk think?
