They are killing me last year and this year.... last year seemed extremely short and this year I’m going to die of old age before it’s released. Chase if you are reading your fellow Texan brothers demand you release the content

All their Auadad from last few years is leased from Mulie mike

Respect - none, watch and tolerate - Michael Waddell and Chipper Jones is about it. Chipper is not too proud to not own his bad or missed shots and I met Waddell, Mr. BONE Collector on DFW shuttle bus with his crew going to South Texas, seemed like a decent enough guy and said his favorite is hunting South Texas rut so points in my book for that.

I use to watch Jim Shockey and Eastmans Hunting Journal several years ago but haven’t watched any in the last 4-5 years.

If your looking for an Arizona centered podcast, specially if your interested in coues deer, jay scott outdoors gives a tremendous amoubt of information. He's an outfitter in the west. They have specific animal podcasts and will go unit by unit and the year's outlook.

I don't know any of them enough personally to have a level of respect for them. I do however enjoy Stephen West, West of TX. Young guy like me working hard, that I can respect.

Yes, they were going to release videos shortly after the hunts actually happened, I guess they are busier than they thought this year.

Most of them if you ever met them are less than impressive.

Larry Wieshun has always been a very nice guy to talk to.

Jim shockey is the real deal hunter and probably one of the most genuine real people in the hunting industry.


For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

Weishun, nice guy but has missed or wounded more deer than we'll probably ever know beyond the ones they show.....When he hunted with that Savage Contender pistol, he was a horrible shot..

Thompson Center made the contender pistols.

In any case he is a nice down to earth guy who has a pretty good hunting resume.

I can’t speak to how many animals he has missed or wounded he never claims to be a expert marksman.

Big guy too he is like 6’3 or 6’4 it kind of fools you

He has to be taller then 6’3, I’m 6’ and feel like he towers over me.

Like you said Only a fool would agrue with him on hunting, the man’s world wide resume is decades deeps

I don’t really respect what any of them stand for. if I take a close look at the commercialization of killing of game animals to produce and sell a product and it’s impact on the average joe, as opposed to why I participate, none of them give me a warm fuzzy feeling. Knowing that is the underlying motivation for what they do cheapens the whole lot to me.

You've never met a Professional Hunter, as in an African PH.

I don't necessarily buy that as chief motivation for many of newer platforms. The hunting public guys are driving around in 15 year old vehicles. It appears to me the original motivations were to share what they were doing and to figure out how to make a living that allowed them more time to do what they loved. The second argument I would make is that these platforms provide product information. We may not like it but without that information we have very limited data for comparative purchase decisions. I used to drive to Santa Fe regularly. Santa Fe had banned signage along I-25. Without that information, people had no idea what food or gas establishments were available. They all ended up at McDonald's because it was the only one they could see. Product endorsement is what improves the caliber of video we watch. The trick is to not go overboard. I don't see that happening on the newer platforms currently.

It should be said that I use the word respect in a broad sense for this topic. I don't know any of these people personally. Therefore my level of respect is a measured one.
