No, I would not. Unless there is no sponsorship, no camera guys following me around, etc., which doesn't really exist.
I spend weeks out hunting by myself. The thought of a camera guy, production, logistics, and the rest of the circus makes me want to puke. I think that would ruin hunting for me. I don’t like being on camera, and I barely even take grip and grins because I feel like an idiot trying to balance a phone on my pack for a picture. That’s just me, different strokes for different folks.
That side isn't pretty. There's some pretty good self filmed hunters out there. Takes most of that out of the equation. Self filming a hunt is an extremely rewarding experience. In my experience anyway. I did it for fun tho, not for a show.
Hunting ain't a movie. mtmuley
Self filming sounds like as big of a pain as having camera guys.....
F that.
I’m not sure that it matters if you are selling out a limited resource. There needs to be people concerned about wildlife, the new recruits aren’t those guys. History is repeating itself right in front of our eyes and most people are too dumb to see it.
There was a leak one year of what Brian Call wanted kifaru to pay him to wear there pack for just one fall, I believe he called it prime filming season, if I remember correct he wanted $30,000 just for one fall. I think a few influencers are making a ton of money and also using all the expenses as a tax write off
Thank you for your service.
They would have to sell so many packs to offset that it seams unrealistic...
Yeah I had it wrong; it was $25,000 for six months. Still ridiculous
Several years ago the swaro rep told me a certain hunter named “Donnie” wanted an insane amount of money for a swaro sponsorship. He said “we’ve never paid anyone even close to that figure.” Never told me the exact number. But they had already given him every swaro optic he wanted for free at that point. He got mad and jumped on with Maven. Who knows what that dollar figure is. But these sponsorships range from getting stuff at cost to free gear to getting a check every month to use and promote their brand. They should make these contracts public like they do in pro sports
What are your thoughts on the trapping industry? Fur trade etc.
It’s a completely traditional use of furs. Now trapping just for likes, views and sponsors on the other hand…
Are you hiring?
I’m bummed he blocked me. I miss the entertainment. I never once commented negatively on his social media pages. He banned me after I tried to sell his silly blacktail novel here. He’s lurking ..
