“I don’t want you hunting this outfit.”

This is all about clicks! He might be solid dude but he's filming a hunt, and raising hell about a landowner all while himself doing something illegal. he doesn't get benefit of doubt as he and outdoor life financially profit from this whole thing. These guys are milking this (he agrues its not his fault in article and try to justify what he did), advertising is paying by click for these washed up legacy outdoor media companies its vital to both relevance and survival. Anybody without sponsors renting helos this fall?

If I have to leave a kill and come back to carry it, I always cut the tongue off and take it with me.

If I come back to someone stealing it and catch them, there isn't much to argue about.

I carry some of my business cards in my wallet. When I have to leave the carcass, I put one of my cards in his mouth and push it as far into the throat as I can. Also taking pictures with time stamp before I leave.

He clearly made a mistake, and taking public responsibility in this way only makes me think more highly of him.

Agree that he made a fairly honest mistake, and it’s not like it’s the end of the world- I suspect he had visions of being hailed as a Public Land Hero and got caught up in the moment. People have done far worse, no need to hang the guy beyond the punishment he has earned from the state.

But let’s be real: he is awarded no honor points because he “took responsibility” here. From a PR angle, he really had no other choice because of the publicity he had already brought to this situation.

Landowner is still a doosh...but the videographed hunter provided him an asterisk.
