And the fanboys trying to make YouTube videos following the Dave Owens persona of smoking cigars when they kill a bird. Makes me puke in my mouth. Then there are guys trying to make turkey hunting videos on YouTube that sound like pure shat with their calling. I have heard 5 year olds that run a call better than half those clowns. Then when they kill a bird they act a fool jumping up and down screaming I smoked him. Bunch of D Bags.

Primos, HS Strut, Realtree, all those guys have been putting out turkeys hunting videos for over 20 years. Maybe it’s the ease of the internet to post hunts that has more people watching vs having to buy a DVD. THP and the like aren’t helping, but the commercialization of turkey hunting is not a new thing.
That said, I wish everyone would quit and take up golf or go fishing. But they weren't pimping public land trying to show how cool they were doing it the "right way".

I remember when they first came down and hunted Murphy. Everybody was excited about it and were quick to say they were seeing what real hunting was like with hard turkeys. Then the next two years they come back, killed several and exposed that maybe they aren’t as hard as we like to tell people they are.
I hate that it’s brought the pressure and exposure here as bad as anybody, and it’s most definitely affected places, it’s just ironic how it all flipped script.
If you ever get bored, search back for the early YouTube posts. The first Pinhoti season, and The Hunting Public is in Bama thread from 2018 are quite entertaining to read now with the narratives out there on them now. I vividly remember starting a Pinhoti Project thread that went for tons of pages. I ran across Dave’s stuff one night bored to tears and waiting on turkey season to arrive. I deeply admired and identified with the way he pursued a turkey and his calling abilities. And I still do. But he effed up. BAD. He is an attention whore and has long since thrown precious pearls before an American generation of arsehole, also attention whores, swine with ZERO interest in doing it the way he, I, and many others do. All they want is the hero shot to put on the internet and nothing more. And for that, he can kiss my whole, hairy, white arse. Same for all for all the rest of the social media and Youtube heroes and attention whores. I swear if turkey kill videos and pictures were banned from the internet, 95% of people hunting em today would quit. NAILED IT 💯

It’s not just YouTube though. Somebody said it above that folks are looking for that hero kill shot to post on social media.
I honestly believe if social media didn’t exist we wouldn’t just have less hunters but there’d be less people doing everything. A lot of folks aren’t chasing personal satisfaction but either the admiration of others or they want to appear better than others.
That’s why folks have found ways to score deer, score turkeys, weigh fish, etc. To Gomers point above someone needs to create a scoring system for hogs and predators, invent some fancy camo for it (it’ll need a flat bill hat) and an interesting back story to the “tradition” and we can start seeing some real progress around here.

Would it be over-reaching to prohibit for-profit filming on WMAs?
It doesn’t seem like a stretch to argue that they are running a commercial business on public land. No different than harvesting and selling plants from state lands, as an example.
I think this is already law on some western wilderness areas, but I could be wrong. That’s exactly what needs to happen. Mine, yours, and everyone else’s money from license sales goes to keeping up lands these jokers are filming and making 350K per year on. Where’s the states cut of the pie? As money hungry the DCNR is, I can’t believe they haven’t created a 20,000K per year tag to film or something like that. Do you know how many put of state licenses they have sold for each state? I bet its over $20,000
