Western-Hunting Self Promoter:
Any person who produces glorified western hunting media (video, photos, podcasts, magazines, books) with the intention of monetizing it through advertising, product sales, sponsorships, subscriptions, memberships, donations, guided hunts, etc.
Western hunting self-promoters readily film and post video-taped kill shots, glorified grip and grin dead animal trophy pics, and related hunting gore, handing it over to the anti-hunters print-ready for placement in anti-hunting ads.
Self-promoting celebrity hunters glorify western big game hunting to increase hype and boost sales. This results in increased hunting pressure on western-state public lands. They value money from nonresident hunters over maintaining uncrowded, quality hunting experiences for western-state resident hunters.
