Thoughts on this shot? - Tim Wells

Pretty sure Al Qaeda doesn’t care what people think nor are they concerned about the future of terrorism

Of course they do. Recruiting. Funding.

For me, personally, I agree. I've seen quite a few animals die, and I'm not sure an arrow or a bullet is that much different, although I don't exactly go looking for this stuff.

However, I think content like that can be used to great effect when its put in front of people who aren't used to seeing animals die, for purposes not in our favor.

Just my opinion.

Guess I'm just a little tired of having to apologize or tip toe around what people dont like.

You don't have to tiptoe. You just shouldn't strap a gopro to a spear and then upload the results to YouTube.

I do understand your feelings somewhat, though.

That’s a naive response. Non hunters are having their opinions of hunters shaped and reshaped every day. Pretty sure Al Qaeda doesn’t care what people think nor are they concerned about the future of terrorism.

I understand your point. The animals expire quickly most of the time. Nature shows are way more gruesome. You can watch nat geo and see lions eat a zebra alive. I guess non hunters local to me are more intrigued about hunting then on the fence about hunting.

He'll I've seen worse watching an animal get hit on the road

I’ve seen a few his shows on the outdoor channel when I used to have it. He’s kind of douchey and full of himself, and the intro is beyond stupid, but he does seem to have quite a bit of talent shooting instinctively and throwing the spear. I think he threw the Javelin in college on a T&F scholarship. Either way, stupid shot and just why the hell would you take that chance?

On the fence folks can quickly be turned off.

Y’all about got into my head this morning, but I gave it a days soak in some Meijer teriyaki and 15 min of direct heat charcoal and gawd damn!

Ps I hope I don’t get botulism or food poisoning

But who does that??? The non hunters I know don't watch hunting videos.

If I were an organization with an agenda, that video would be low hanging fruit.....

IMO
If they see any video of an animal being hunted getting killed its low hanging fruit. So a rifle bullet dropping an elk or deer at 50 yards and the hunters celebrating isn't low hanging fruit? How about a nice 30 yard passing shot on a goose and the hunter pillows the bird ? or he doesn't pillow it? Like it really matters.

Fair point.

I still think a spear with a gopro is and exceptionally bad look, but to each his own, I suppose.

I to me so many of these you tube videos are just hunting porn they just are not a real reflection of what or how people hunt. I am not scared of anti folks viewing it as much as I am of new and inexperienced hunters thinking thats how its done and said etc.

 

[OntarioHunter]

I'm old and not that much worried about the future of the war with antis. The future of hunting, real hunting, has greater threats.

The original poster's case in point was bullshit with a capital B. No one can ever be remotely certain of hitting let alone killing an animal with that equipment at that range. This only exemplifies the contemporary disgusting trend for long range killing (or wounding) ... which is anything but real "hunting."
