Publicizing any public hunting is a bad thing.

Not with the nationwide trend of decreasing license sales... access is a major reason

No way man. I disagree. As hunters, we have to cultivate a new breed of hunters, however that may be. They possibly may reach some people who have never hunted before and encourage them to get in the woods. Hunters are their own worst enemies with attitudes like that. Liscence sales are dwindling and it’s really up to hunters to make them increase. Nobody else is going to do it for us

Considering you couldnt find a empty pull-in on any public land this morning after 5am I’d disagree. If you hunt public land you have a different outlook

Yes, but this is what keeps public land open for hunting.

The Hunting Public, like most shows, don’t give away their parking spots. Those guys at the gates this morning at 5AM most likely found those spots on their own. Years ago. I would argue that word of mouth is what put those trucks there. Not a YouTube video.

The catman guy was down the road from me this morning. I have no problem with them being here hell they can't be worse than the guys I run into every year.

Hunt public land all over the nation. Guess im just used to 'the grind' and know the killers are still gonna kill. I also know our state wildlife agencies are going to start going through tough financial times if the hunting decline keeps continuing. That is not good for any of us.

I keep looking for these mythical places that are experiencing hunter decline, but I haven't found them yet.

They haven’t declined on Skyline I can promise you that.

I don’t believe hunting numbers are down at all. And I really don’t understand why people care. I think it’s a good thing if less people hunt. Less deer get killed and more land to lease.

Episode 2: Alabama

Because eventually no one cares about hunting, license fees increase, regulations increase, fewer people are introduced to gun culture, and the 2nd amendment further erodes or goes away completely. Those are a few of the million reasons why a person should care.

Loose lips sink ships......any turkey hunter knows that. Add social media and it’s magnified x 5000

Catman posted on OG that he killed an AL bird this weekend, so that ought to be up soon.

Frankly... I like seeing guys get shut out. Too often, turkey hunters believe they should get on a bird every time out - and I used to be one of those folks. At the time, I hunted a lot of open pastureland. As a result, even when birds were quiet I could slip around and find birds most of the time. Today, I hunt timberland and it's not that easy - and some times (like right now), birds just aren't ready to cooperate. That's reality in turkey hunting in Alabama for the most part.

I think Aaron got one also.

Havent watched the video, but looks like it

Just finished watching the first 3 videos for this season and they're pretty good. They even had Dave and Chubs on camera with them in camp.

They get goofy at times, but that’s okay. They’re much better at making hunting videos than I would be. It’s another show that shows the ups and downs of hunting, and I enjoy watching them. They’re a bunch of Yankees, but I bet it’d be fun to hunt with them for a while.
