Influencers Ruining Stuff

[huntin24/7]

It’s wild the way these guys have to pay their own back and rationalize what they did. I’m proud of all the Dinks I shoot even if you all say I work to hard for them sometimes. It’s about the journey, not the f’ing photo at the end of the trip. I think that’s what most people are missing these days. The journey and their story probably sucked so all they can do is him and haw about some bs that makes themselves feel better. Just own it. I’ve shot fawns, calves, and a bunch of small stuff and I’m proud of every one of them. If you feel like you have to justify your decision to someone else why are you even pulling the trigger in the first place.

This attitude is easy to embrace. Like I’ve stated along with many others on here, no one really cares if someone shoots a raghorn or smaller buck and it makes them happy. It’s when guys like the guy on Instagram earlier shoot one and feel the need to justify it and make a big production out of it.

Influencers are a bunch of crayon eaters that are too dumb to realize they’re shooting dinks, ruining spots, and spending copious amounts of their own money to help product companies generate more revenue. They usually have too many tags in their pocket to do any of them justice. More about content generating than hunting.

Much different than someone that shares an experience on a hunting forum. There are plenty of people that share on other platforms like instagram/fb that are not influencers.

I hope you feel better now.

Humble brag warning. The total sum of my shot distances for three animals this year was under 400 yards.

Not so humble brag, 6 bucks/bulls ~570m total sum. That's mostly because I'm an Okay shot and know it.

If you find this tragedy kind of funny then you’re a twisted faak like me.

If you can’t smell them is it hunting?

to quote the great Tim Barry from his song, Free as the Wind.

“No need to prove what I do. No need to show it to you.”

These influencers have no concept or sense of freedom, and why people may hunt for those reasons.

The whole thing is pathetic. Fame seeking it individuals with out of control egos and narcissistic personality disorders.

Glad I don’t fish this spot. In fact as I age I’m kinda glad I don’t fish anymore. Saves me a fortune, no boat, no tackle, no filleting, and I never get skunked at Costco.

You just have to fish the correct spot...

Been going on since before the internet. Can’t tell you how many times I’ve read “nice, fat forky” in a magazine article over the years. The “fat” part was just an excuse to kill a young animal and try to cover that by saying it would provide a lot of meat.

"Nice body".

Would it be better to say the forkie had a good personality?
