Heartfelt Message to the Outdoor Industry! FULL Michael Waddell Rant

[@johnblakewatson7083]

Michael Waddell is a rare breed. Never met him but he seems like a great and down to earth person. Keep up the good work. Always have been a fan and always will be.

[@raymondparks4734]

What you see is what you get. I've had the opportunity to meet and talk to him. Super nice guy.

[@willrowell3218]

@@raymondparks4734 Me too, he's exactly the same person in person he is on tv.

[@rickyferguson2362]

I have had the pleasure to talk with Michael a lot. He is a gentlemen super nice guy great family man who love Jesus. Never meet nick. But I have hunted with T-Bone Turner a few times. He is an amazing person! Michael is just like your best hunting partner! Just down to earth !

[@OhGeefishin71]

his team was the first tv show i ever saw where they went after meat not racks , instantly gained me as a fan.

[@rubberduckscott]

When a man isn't afraid to speak from his Heart and not worry about the fallout, is Exactly the person I Respect.

[@williammoeglin6191]

Tell it like it is, Michael! This video has been out there for a while, but it is just as pertinent today as when this video was made. I have hunted all my life and will do so until I no longer can. But he is right; follow the rules, do the right thing, enjoy our great outdoors and have as much fun as you can and every trip will be a success. The kill is great, no doubt. But when you get that chance to sit in a deer stand or a ground blind and it first starts getting light and you can watch the world come alive and all those colors paint the sky - - - - it just makes you feel alive! Enjoy it while you can.

[@michaelwilson6742]

Waddy... grew up watching your shows on Sunday mornings... absolutely love what you do for all of us outdoorsmen. Much appreciated man

[@keithhardee3839]

Thank you !! Killing a deer use to be measured by the hunt itself now it's measured in its score.I'm so fed up with this trophy crap.if i take the notion to shoot a small buck with my now or gun that's my dang business.Now days ol he would've been a good one in a few years....he's good one now to me.

[@JacobSchmittDeerHuntingSchool]

This video is another one of the reasons Michael Waddell is one of my all time favorite hunters you can tell he truly loves it

[@TexasOilTrash]

Been a fan since I was a kid watching you on the outdoor channel but I'm glad to see you're a real person and not afraid to let your opinion out

[@shaneblanchard8341]

***f yeah!!!. Thank you. As a black guy in New Jersey who bow hunts, I have always enjoyed your videos. Great video. You get it !!

[@TheBptang]

Great rant Michael! Hunting for me has been precious time in the woods with my father and brothers, and now with my sons. Thank you!

[@valeriepaulos7939]

My favorite hunter hands down. Love his thinking of equality and EVERYONE is just a plain hunter. All equal.

[@jakeyates2455]

Thanks Michael for standing up and telling the truth! I agree 100%!

[@Backwoodshunteroutdoors]

Waddell I have followed you ever since I was 11 years old have videos on vhs at the house and love them all. My kids now watch your alls vhs. You are one of the best there is in the outdoor industry and you are a inspiration to all of us outdoorsman thank you for all you do Waddy.

[@ringerahn]

I've always wanted to meet you .... Now more so that ever . Thank you for thinking of us that literally work 60hrs a week . I only slept a few hrs a night for 2 months during the last season and it paid off with a beautiful 9 pt . I love your show . I respect you all even more after seeing this . I pray to the good lord we cross paths one day . 🙏 God bless you all.

[@mikeguy9668]

This is true today more than ever

[@moeb041]

You spoke the truth brother. We need more kids in the woods or a fishing pole in their hand VS having an iPhone glued to it. Preach on and just being the everyday good ole boy that you are!!

[@SicedDuck]

Michael, Well said. I’m not sure you’ll ever see this. It’s because of you and your show that my daughters get to see what hunting truly is. Keep up the great work.

[@benrinehartjr2345]

Fred Bear, Chuck Adam's, Frank & Becky Pearson, The Ragsdales, just to name a few I grew up and shot with. Forgot Randy Chappell, chappy boss release, 1st perfect score IBO, still use it today. These are who I grew up and was taught how to shoot. hunt& respect our sport. Thanks Mike it's about time someone stood up and tell it like it is. To many pretty boys on you tube.

[@jamesshockley4311]

I'm thankful for you and this video I've watched you thru your whole career and love that you have stood up to this crazy view that has been placed on hunting

[@rodneyhanbaum697]

Outstanding! I'm 62 years old and couldn't have said it better myself! I've followed you since you started in this industry, and like you, Chuck Adams , Noel Feather, The Wetzels, Fitzgerald's, and a host of others inspired me along with my Daddy, and Pap paw...I am one of those regular guys, getting a little long in the tooth now , but my Passion is as strong as yours. Thank you Michael for this video and a very HEARTFELT statement! I have been and definitely will be a BONE COLLECTOR FOR LIFE, GOD BLESS YOU, YOUR FAMILY, and staff...

[@beasteboy3]

You are exactly right sir! Thank you for this. One of the best hunters I ever met was a man out in Cordesville, SC hunting public land turkeys this spring. I didn't know the area and he showed me the way in. We walked about a half mile together and he showed me his call that was made from a jagged piece of floor tile and an old wood "striker" (craziest thing I've ever seen). I will always be grateful to that man for showing me some kindness and restoring my faith in the hunting community when we see all these people who want to not help others and lead them the wrong way for their own benefit.

[@trentonallen4234]

Amen brother!! Amen!! ALWAYS PUT GOD FIRST! God wants us to hunt and fish to provide for others!

[@billymcdaniel4855]

Thank you brother, there's a lot of people that definitely needs to hear that! Whether they know it or not!! God bless y'all. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@GopherHayes]

Too late the outdoor channel has ruined the hunting show experience . I remember buying the realtree monster bucks dvd and inviting friends over to watch it. I love the original realtree cast but I’m done with outdoor channel. There are some great vids on KZbin passionate hunters with no product to sell.

[@vlacula]

My Outdoor channel lasted just 2 months until I found what you said on KZbin. I saved the suscription money for buying more arrows...

[@sbhcmcc]

Me too man I bought all those dvds and couldn’t wait to get home from Walmart to watch it. Still got em and still watch em sometimes

[@dennyramsey8774]

Im with ya bro..

[@KillerBeeOutdoors]

Thanks Michael.

[@Tyler-wp3ns]

Totally agree. The majority of hunting and fishing shows on tv are little more than 30 minute infomercials.

[@calebchrista2932]

You speak about getting the opportunity to shake the hands of the people who support you. It reminds me of the time when i first met you. I grew up watching you on the Realtree vhs tapes and i didnt turkey hunt but you were in north alabama at a turkey calling competition and i wanted to go just to see you on the stage and you took the time to sit down and talk to an 9 year old kid and sign a realtree license plate for me and too this day i still have that plate. You are one of the few genuine hunters left that we have in the industry.

[@jimkautz2243]

Michael Waddell, please thank you mother and father for me. they raised a authentic , real American. Your rant is spot on brother. I have been saying this for years. That coin hits both sides of the fence. We have idiots running down other hunters because they follow the game laws, and shoot that small but legal buck. Stop the hate, celebrate the hunt, even if you would not shoot that young buck, good for you. Semper Fi , God bless. Michael Waddell is good people.

[@talynblack7271]

I see why so many people including myself respect you and look up to you man fr

[@darrellmayo9066]

I don't get to go hunting much as I like, but I can sit down and watch your tv shows and for a 1/2 hour or an hour and man IAM right there with y'all.

[@tracyhumphries3545]

I've had the opportunity to watch Michael since he started with real tree. I've loved his sincerity and honest to God love for the outdoors. I've never met him but pray I get the chance one day. But for now I say Thank you Michael for all you do to help grow the love of the outdoors.

[@gunther1fd]

Michael very well said,as a retired deputy game warden that has met you at the harrisburg show i am very proud of you Michael its about time some one says the truth about the outdoors and the hunters.

[@usnationalist8150]

You are an ex Pa game commission? The board directors in PA are some of the most corrupt incompetent trash out of any state. For about 15 years they let my unit be an unlimited tag area and it got hit hard, not counting that disease that happened twice. Telling you they are getting money from car insurance companies to reduce the population. Unlimited doe tags, introduced coyotes in this area which the population exploded...nobody traps anymore because fur isn’t worth the bait and gas. Our Turkey population has decreased 75% in the past 7 years...what do the game commission do? Allow hunters to purchase a 2nd tag. Mark my words there won’t be any Turkey hunting in Pa (Atleast in my unit) within 15 years. Areas I use to see hundreds of Turkey 10 years ago I now only see half a dozen at most. I can’t stand game commission, “let’s fine some little kid because he doesn’t have 250 square inches of orange on”. They are like state cops....when they stop they look for every little violation, like fuzzy dice on your mirror.

[@giljohnson432]

Thank you, Mr. Waddell.

[@jayceecurry1381]

And that my friend is why I have always enjoyed watching you hunt!!! Authentic as it gets! Thank you for what you said! Myself an avid 60 hr a week worker and outdoor loving, deer and turkey chasing, fishing fool from Alabama. Watching you hunt for nearly 20 years and still passionate like you are is Golden. You are one of the few that hasnt let it go to his head so to speak!!

[@cryptidoutlaw8707]

I met Michael Waddell many years ago at deerassic classic in Cambridge oh , won't say how many years so not to give away how old we really are Michael lol, and by far he was the most humble and down to earth hunting celebrity I met that day. I have no interest in going to those events anymore due to what the hunting industry pushing that everyone should be hunting for only giant bucks, not to mention the unreal price of the products being pushed. I am glad to see one of rhe guys I look up to in this industry finally stand up and say what needed to be said. Thank u.

[@dswish1730]

Thanks Michael for keeping it real.Been watching you since you started with Realtree.We are getting older.And wiser.I live in northeast Pa. They are finally letting us hunt Sunday..

[@jamessimmons2773]

I have to admit, I stopped watching you years ago, and it was for a certain reason that I will not add on this comment. After watching this video though, you have reclaimed this viewer. I used to be one of those hunters in Talbot County, GA on a Mead lease praying to see a squirrel and not worrying about wind direction and such. This video hits the nail on the head in so many ways. Thank you for doing all that you do to preserve this right that we love. Hopefully, one day I will get to meet you and shake your hand.

[@mikecobello7245]

MICHAEL you are 100% right luv your show and videos .Enjoy Culpepper quite the turkey hunter I've been hunting for over 30 years have enjoyed every hunt. Keep up the great job you and all your people do. God Bless you all.

[@jonstokes9502]

This video right here is the reason why Michael Waddell is my top favorite hunter.

[@carterdippold2513]

Roger Raglin spoke the truth for 40 years and now you are taking up the torch. Congratz.

[@GetLucky1989]

Well said Mr. Waddell! How well said? So well said you changed my wife's mind...and that takes some doing. I bought the Bone Collector sticker at a gun show today and intended to put it on my truck rear window. My wife said no. She liked the deer head but did not like the "spooky skull eyes". She heard this video and was impressed with your message and heart. She did not know the sticker represented your show but found out with this video (the pillows in the background). She changed her mind. Keep up the good work in your mission of hunting evangelism.

[@lsufan9569]

You remind me so much of Dale Earnhardt Sr . He related to the working class people and never forgot where he came from . He knew fans in the stands paid the bills . Enjoyed meeting you in Huntsville last year and thanks again for being a role model to our young people. Happy thanksgiving and God bless you and your family.

[@kentac1911]

WOW!! Awesome to see Michael hasn't forgot where he came from! And he is 100% on point. Great job Michael!! You just got me as a new fan!

[@ChristopherKBowen]

I am from Georgia, me and my brother only get to hunt on weekends, we work during the week. Michael you are correct man alot of people are blind sided but what they hear and then they want to judge. I watch youtube but Facebook I can't stand it .all it is where people all up in your business all the time . You'll keep up the good work at bone collectors

[@alvinbaker1193]

Thank you Michael.Well said and true.

[@lowcountrylife4720]

It’s so easy to make awesome videos of hunts when you hunt places that are setup just for these shows. The Hunting Public by far is the best hunting show on you tube. They should have their own TV show.

[@rsenl7270]

I agree they have very good videos. Their videos depict pretty well how it really is hunting public land.

[@BornN2Grave1]

Is it selfish to say that I hope the Hunting Public never go mainstream? Best hunting channel on youtube by far is true.

[@dennyramsey8774]

Some places do put back sections set up just for people in the industry where they get put on tv...guess my money aint as good..piss on em

[@usnationalist8150]

RSENL 7: So they are like team Fitzgerald? Old show use to be on where they hunted public land.

[@rksanders13]

The bone collector crew all seam like good guys. I met nick a few yrs ago in Texas.he was walking through the airport and seemed like something was bothering him.as he walked towards to me I said nick and he looked up and had a big smile on his face and we spoke for a few min as he was on his way to a hunt.i think it made both of our days.

[@charliewilliams5107]

I appreciate the honesty in recognizing the roots of the sport and not all who participate are wealthy and do good just to get out and hunt on weekends. I am glad to see that you are keeping it real. Thanks Michael

[@therichie9916]

I am one of those guys your talking about. Hard to afford it, hard for time, always struggling to have a place to hunt. I love it. This year..2018 I was tickled to death to get a 4 year old 123 class 9 pointer with a broken g3 and g4. Michael...you David and Bill...were some of my biggest inspirations. As much respect as I thought I had for you...I now have much much more. This vid should be viral in ever Hunting/Fishing/Outdoor circles.

[@splinter8723]

Truth! There's not many people I would like to meet, but Waddell is one of those people.

[@rajuyelbey]

Michael, I started watching your videos almost 2 years ago. Man , I tell ya, I love your passion for hunting. I was a rifle hunter, who bought my first earlier this year. Looking forward to hunting with a bow. God Bless you brother!

[@midwestoutdoorenthusiasts9432]

Man you spoke from the heart and your an awesome person for it. I learned turkey calling from you way back when you had a baby face lol. One thing is you can't forget the kids!! Get their butts off the phones, video games, tablets whatever they play on and put a fishing pole or something else in their hand that they can have fun doing. Thank you sir for being you!

[@SgtDvldawg]

Outstanding my brother!!!! Truth told for sure! Too many times the allure of the “professional “hunter and all the fancy gadgets and gizmos that most of us can’t afford keep many from attempting to try. I am 42 and have limited funds for what I would like to have. With what I do have which I have always done is buy a bow that was last years new which is new to me and works fine. Buy clearance scent blocker or lock most is too big. I am still successful, but at the same time I have scored more meat for the family in my work boots and pants with a flannel on top when I stop in the woods for a couple hours after work and fill the fridge with countless does. I am just happy and blessed to do that and brain dump and enjoy Gods creation and thank Him for being able to do so! Thank you for doing what you do and telling your truth telling rants! Keep up the great work!

[@sslaskevich9146]

Thank you Sir.... This is how it is... Keep on Keepin' On !!

[@rwilson208]

I just saw this video. I agree with everything that you said. I have been an NRA member for many years. I have watched the outdoor channel and the sportsman channel. I like the down-to-earth country talking good ole boys the best. That is just my opinion. I have not hunted nor fished in many years. I started buying guns because I felt like one day I would no longer be allowed to. I am not interested in killing the biggest of anything. I would be glad to if the situation came available, but I would love to be able to hunt to eat the food that the good Lord put on this earth for us to eat. I love to fish for the food to put on my table for my family. I have watched you guys for 16 years and I love watching you. I enjoy watching several different families on this channel. Keep doing what you guys do and keep being REAL. We are intelligent viewers and we can spot folks who are in it for the wrong reason. I enjoy your shows, please do not ever change.

[@troyjohn8871]

That is , the most honest and heart felt words I've heard , in regards to the hunting industry.. Thank you , sir.. T.V hunting shows , is not reality for most.. You have hero's, well now your my hero!!!!! God bless.

[@stevetaylor2512]

I've been watching you and following you ever since You were taking video for David Blanton working for Realtree. You started Roadtrips and then The Bonecollector started and Not once have you, Nick, or Bone ever said you're the best out there. All you guys try to do is get others to go outdoors and go hunting fishing and enjoy the outdoors. Where the saying comes from take a child hunting. I've met you all several times over the years but what an honor it would be to Hunt along with you. Keep doing the job you're doing. hands down you all are the greatest. Thank you for everything

[@sharonstufflebeam2151]

I would give anything to meet Mr Waddell. The way you talked about your hero's growing up, is how it was with me. I would love an opportunity to hunt with you one day! I just keep hoping and praying! God bless and keep on doing what you're doing!

[@tomjones7285]

Right on Waddell. Grew up in Jersey till i was 30 and couldnt go dove huntin i loved bird huntin but couldnt do it. Now im almost 50 and live in Nebraska no bears but thats life. Ive been a hugh fan since you drove the old K-5 blazer on road trips. So ill always be with ya man.

[@wesaxley7074]

Love this waddy! I hunt 13,000 acres of public land. My family have been hunting that land for 56 years. Been watching you since I was a kid! I’ve killed spikes just over 3 inches and I killed a 130 in public land buck. I will shoot whatever I want to feed my family! Stop shaming hunters!

[@toddwolfe1978]

Well said Michael! The industry needs more like you, Travis and Nick. You're a true ambassador for the sport/lifestyle that I personally love and cherish! Been watching you all my entire life, keep up the great work man! #FanForLife

[@treynwrecked9052]

Michael is so passionate and genuine! I felt everything he said and he’s Been my hero since I was a kid. I always wanted to meet him in person but maybe one day it’ll happen. I’d go to the Arkansas sports show every year just hoping he’d show up lol. He messaged me years ago on social media and wished me happy hunting and i was ecstatic. I’ve always been extremely passionate about the outdoors, growing up if I wasn’t at school I was hunting or fishing. Now that I’m 31 I still have sleepless nights when deer season gets close. I’ve been very blessed this season! I killed my hit list buck “Claw” opening day sept 24th the day after my birthday, sitting in the tree all day with highs in the mid 90s. I got him Right before dark. Then November 2nd I killed another mature buck I’ve never had on camera. The youth hunt was a bust but opening week of regular gun season my 7 year old daughter got her first deer ever! Plus I got a doe on Christmas eve and another on New Year’s Eve And we only had 5 acres to hunt that’s pretty much in an urban area right beside the city limit line. But it’s a funnel to the big woods. After I got the bucks and my daughter got hers a week later the owner decided he was going to build on the land so we couldn’t hunt it anymore and by some miracle I got a call and was given permission to hunt some 10 acres of urban land behind a dispensary which I got the 2 does on. I’ve had some really nice bucks come by and on camera so I’m super excited about next season. also had a successful heart procedure done the beginning of this month that I’ve put off for years so I have had the best season Of my life just hunting every chance i can get after work and on the weekends but my kid getting her deer was one of the best parts. I’ve got a few doe tags left but im still recovering so we will see if I can get back out there! God bless and take care!

[@utamakimchi2599]

Bless to the bone collector family🙏

[@mcgovernoutdoors33]

I will forever remember waking up on a Saturday morning and turning the tv on to find the hunting shows that would play or watching a monster bucks dvd and since then my favorite outdoorsman was always Michael Waddell!! His excitement on camera is second to none! Luke Bryan is a close second lol!! Keep doing it right brother!! I’m 37 now and been a fan since you started! Hopefully one of these days I can get the chance and bag me a big ol South Georgia monster!

[@coreyfrasnelly7364]

Bone collector has always been about the outdoors in the love of the sport and that’s why Michael Waddell is where he is because we hunters and fans appreciate Them and their views. Just like in the beginning of bone collector when they say in the beginning of the show “my life is hunting being in the woods etc. etc.“ we all understood exactly what they meant great job Michael as always!

[@johnwycoff5529]

Dang Michael good speech. That is the best rant I've heard in a while. You have come a long way from when we were neighbors in Waverly Hall. Keep up the great work.

[@jeffherron3844]

I would absolutely appreciate to go on a hunt with you Michael. Thanks for being a true sportsman

[@davidhunn5926]

I knew when I met you in Florida at a Gander Mountain Grand opening years ago, that you my friend were genuine and that had true conviction for what you talked about. Michael, that speech you talked about, it hit the nail on the head man! You just keep doing things the way you always have brother and ill do my best to make sure on my end, that I promote "Our Right" to the best of my ability! David Hunn

[@country6368]

[@mikewest3300]

Perfectly said

[@alexciraulo]

I have the utmost respect for you after watching this Michael . Telling them how it is!

[@nathanstrickland6508]

I use to love to watching hunting shows when I was a kid. I'm 46 now, and its lost its original luster for me. Now it's not about the hunt, or the blessings of being able to be out in the peaceful solitude of God's creation, its about what can I sell you. I dont have a land lease, I dont have top of the line anything, but I put multiple deer on the ground every year. Why, because my dad and his brothers taught me how to HUNT as a kid. Mike I dont know if you will ever see this, but I have the upmost respect for you and your show. I watch your show, because you keep it real and you truly love and respect the blessings of being able to hunt.

[@Justin_JuJu_Smith]

Michael your an awesome guy I/we appreciate you standing up for us ! If your ever in or want to come to Ohio to hunt I have access to a 200 acre farm with tons of turkey and deer it would be an such an honor and learning experience to watch you hunt in person thanks again

[@therichie9916]

I must admit...I am blessed to have a very supportive wife when it comes to my outdoor activities. No matter the weapon of choice...hunters should support hunters.

[@chadconn875]

Thanks Micheal there are many like me that still look forward to the weekends and the week off in November! We are all part of the bone collector family...

[@halfmooncreek5969]

I fully agree. Michael you've always been a down to earth just like us type hunter. I commend you. Thank you for being that way. The whole bucks gotta be 4 years old and a 150 class to be a good deer is not real life hunting for the majority of us. I hunt weekends and on 20 acres. I dont have that luxury. I like to see the real life hunting. If it makes you happy and it's legal, then that's what we should be promoting. We can't all "trophy" hunt. So amen brother. Keep on keeping on. From north ga!

[@magdielarmenteros2845]

Good lord man! When people look up the definition of hunting, your name should pop up! Thank you for saying it how it is, your honesty, values and principles.

[@cdawg_692]

God bless you man! You speak the truth and I love ya for that! U are my BIGGEST inspiration in the hunting industry! I hope I can live up even half the hunter u are through out my hunting life! Dont ever stop being the great and honest guy you are! Damn I admire the heck out of you!

[@davidcox9115]

im bow hunter.but i hear so many people complain about there not any show where people hunt with gun left anymore.. its not all about the bow..it hard to even find a rifle stand for climbing ..thanks for your videos and have been a fan since the start..keep up the good work.

[@rbljackson]

I missed this rant back in 2018 when this was a hot topic. All i got to say after watching this now is HELL YES MICHAEL!! Put a mic in his hand so he can drop it,, say BAAM, and walk off. Nothing else to add to that. WAY TO GO. A lot of what he said then is true to this day. Guys like Michael, and Randy Newberg are the guys I hope to hunt with someday if I could. Ironically...here were are in 2022, and youtube and facebook are now censoring some of what we want to watch here. Demonitizing creators content when they show how to gut a deer, process a deer, or maybe doing a DIY euro mount. Its crazy.
