I have no interest in learning Chinese arithmetic, diy home projects, or wonders of the world. I’m content with my knowledge and value my time more than the other stuff. Pretty much the same with whitetail. I admit theres much stuff I don’t know and again don’t care. How they stick there tongue out while mating, how many turds in a typical bowel movement, how to classify rubs, scrapes, how to read topos, or productive cyber scouting. All fine and dandy but I care nothing about it. For me (a simple man) can u put a buck in front of you? If not that other stuff ain’t gonna help ya either, if so than that other stuff is just for fun.
The ability to walk a piece of property and say right here and throwing time at it is what separates killers from those constantly seeking answers on YouTube. Atleast IMHO
What you have described is why I think you Boogie, would be a good one to make a YouTube video.
I know, I know, but I feel like most of them are 90% talking about what they are going to talk about and 10% actual information.
I think you would just cut to the chase and tell us like it is.
Plain old meat and potatoes information
I find that sifting through the BS to get the actual info is the worst part
Ha! I believe u would be my only follower I tried capturing hunts on film last season. First time out the gate got busted by a young buck while I jacked with my camera, day 2 had to pass on a doe cause my dang camera arm prevented a shot. Enough of that! Haven’t taken a camera sense. I respect the heck out of all self filmers. Really adds some xtra challenges. I thought about the YouTube thing b4 but ended up deciding not to. It seems most of the ones I have seen have a certain niche, or try to attach themselves to someone’s coat tail. I’ve got lots of stuff I enjoy and don’t wanna be viewed as an authority on anything. Just don’t think there’s much to offer with a cross between jack asss and the great outdoors.
In regards to another post of why folks tune in to those with big buck footage that resembles tv. I can only speak for myself but I think a need for credentials is in order b4 I trust someone. In the world of media the best way to do it is by proving it. Just saying I wouldn’t go to a lecture on financial management when the guest speaker is flat broke and in worse shape than me. I need to see a track record of success or it gets me thinking this is a con job. Granted this does lead to short cuts and cheating by those who attempt to be an authority. Just seems to me that everyone is an expert these days offering how to’s many of which haven’t killed a big buck in there entire life. Again I will compare to fishing. What would u think of an angler offering tips if u watched 5 consecutive episodes and he hasn’t got a bite? Maybe he is fishing a crappy lake, maybe conditions are horrible, then again maybe he just stinks. Hard to tell but it’s easier to follow a guy loading up the boat with toads when searching for answers.
