I'm sorry but attacking the guy's character falls flat to me. I'm much more interested in hearing counter arguments to the points he makes. He seems to care about the average hunter a lot more than most hunters on social media these days. Maybe he's a bit of a curmudgeon, but so what? It is painful to hear of two brothers becoming estranged, especially after reading the article RJ linked. I wouldn't do what he's doing if it meant becoming estranged from my own brother, I hope they can work things out some day.

I know several people who worked for and with him and they all love him.
The dude also specializes in plant ecology and I'm sure research he does helps inform agencies etc. on how to manage. I'd say his entire career is based in conservation.

For those of us not in “the industry” and from the outside looking in, it’s hard to disagree with this take. Americans love a good satire and/or parody.
It seems the HuntTalk hive is somewhat split on this issue. I am alright with that, one of the reasons I come here.
I think it is perfectly fine to be skeptical of corporate interests creeping into conservation efforts. That being said we do have challenges from both ends with public land transfer and anti-hunting initiatives looming. It will take a “big tent” approach with lots of resources to fend off those opponents and win the day for hunting and conservation.

That’s great. I’m glad they do and I’m not being facetious. I’m probably biased because of my own life experience but people who do what he’s done to Steve are not the kind of folks I want to be around anymore. In my experience if you get close to someone like that it’s only a matter of time before you violate their sense of how things should be and they discard relationship if you don’t conform .
There’s ways to voice criticism and concern without wrecking relationships in the process.

Could care less about any family drama.. Matt Rinella usually does this.
That’s awful generous, and I consider Green Day to be mostly ass. I think a band like Imagine Dragons is more analogous.

Agreed. Family is important. To throw away a relationship over something like this is wild. Does Matt expect Steve to abandon what he's built? Sad to see, but I'm not throwing away my success because a sibling decided to take a stance against it.
Is it jealousy of Steves success?
The same people here who support Matt are the same ones constantly posting and sharing hunt stories and photos here. Ironically, one of the things Matt hates...

It is curious that he leaves forums out of it.

He’d probably hate me and I’d still think he was awesome.
You are wrong good sir... Matt doesn't care for the posting of kill pics on social media that the entire general population is on, not a hunting forum. two entirely different platforms.

I like Matt's take.
I generally like Newbergs take, certainly love his actual conservation efforts.
I don't have to pick a side.

didn't steve name one of his kids matthew?
bummer.
it's evolved into the Kardashians of the hunting world and one of them clearly seems more unhinged than the other. i really can't imagine myself remotely caring about any of it at this point. i still think steve puts out worthwhile content and I don't go downstairs, rip my shirt off, kneel down, and flog myself after i've consumed it.
the only thing that matters in all this is that cam is truly a douche. matt really does hit it outta the park in that arena.

Google something hunting related. I bet HuntTalk shows up. Anyone can see what's on this site. You don't have to be registered.
So, I'd say I'm still right since this is open to the general population.
Do you like him for the Cam jokes? Or his opinions on the hunting industry?He’d probably hate me and I’d still think he was awesome.
