Seems like they are controversial. But it didn't hit me until i was talking with some of my dual
Credit students. One girl in particular. Says her boyfriend always watching hunting shows even though he rarely actually hunts . I asked her id he watched catman. She laughed and said he watches Seek One mainly.
Joking with her i asked if she liked it. She said no, they kill deer in people yards and shot a deer that came tbrough a chainlink fence. Then it hit me.
City boys killing deer isnt the problem. City boys killing tame deer isnt the problem. City boys killing deer i people's yards isnt the problem.
The problem is, they have become an symbol, an avatar, of what deer hunting is because they are what everyone sees. Their youtube prowess, that keep them streaming any time someone types in archery hunting is the problem. They (and their mirror images) are many peoples only reference point to what hunting is. It isnt a time honored tradition passed from father to son on family farmland or vast spances of public land or generationally leases of river bottoms and forested timberland. But GQ yuppies who refer to deer as their green scores and use religion to pray to sway surbanites to open their backyards to them. This new age of hunting, which everything centers around a subscriber total or a thumbs up has misinformed the 96 percents of people that don't bowhunt of what fair chase hunting is.
We must change our avatar before its too late. Seek one isnt the problem. They are the wound we refuse to treat.
