The various TV hunter thrillbillies with their hootin' & hollerin' and the obligatory fist bumping, then three times in a row the slow motion shot of the bullet or arrow impact? The Utard Posse Hunts? Sad old men that pay 100's of thousands for canned "spider bulls"? High fence un-fair chase? The various social media hotspotting with blood and gore tailgate pics? Game Cams?
The continued and growing strain put on the ecosystem by the welfare outfitters?
Guess I haven't paid much attention to pop culture the past 30 years. I don't fakebook, check out boards only on occasion and hardly watch TV. Regarding TV, though, once in a while I'll get up extremely early, perk some coffee and channel surf and will sometimes spend a few minutes watching some of these hunting shows. I stumbled upon one repulsive show with a cocky little guy named "Keith" (don't recall last name) who not only has a gay old time shooting fenced in whitetails but also visits with and showcases the breeder/farmers of these domesticated deer.
There was this one show with an absolute knockout Hawt blonde chick hawking deer scent obtained from her penned up whitetails... not complaining about that one
Can't forgot those absolutely stupid and stage game warden shows.
Now we have live youtube hunts?
I hadn't looked at an Outdoor Life or Field & Stream in years, until some family member subscribed me to these rags a couple of Xmas's ago. Wow, they've turned into nothing more than a glossy infommercial for the latest and greatest products that, if you don't purchase, you most certainly won't harvest any game
Guess I'm naive but I didn't realize that over these years, hunting has grew into such a "look at me" sport and a "get into your face" business.
I am concerned with the perception of the non hunting public. We'll never win over the anti hunters but there are millions of middle of the road folks who can and do vote. They may ultimately end hunting at the ballot, if we hunters don't clean things up - which I highly doubt will be done
On 2nd thought, perhaps I'll just say screw it, turn off the TV and computer and go hunting
