Steve and his crew are having the largest cultural effect on hunting, change my mind

[@tbcottonhead4175]

Change your mind- Ok, I'd argue that Divorce has had the largest cultural impact on Hunting. Outdoorsmen are highly likely to marry and father children. A Hunting heritage specifically is overwhelming passed down from father's to children. The average marriage in America today lasts 8 years and the average divorced father only spends 66 days per year total with his children. Add to that, in many cases the mother's lawyer will use "violent" activities like Hunting and the presence of firearms in the father's home to argue for further reduced visitation with the father. All of these and many more factors contribute to many father's who hunt choosing to save their hobby for non-custodial weekends or to pursue more culturally accepted activities for their time with the kids. Each generation, America loses more potential hunters and each hunter lost contributes an exponential decline in future demographic share of Hunters. Steve is doing phenomenal work in changing the prevailing attitude towards Hunting and he (and Rogan) are owed a huuuuuge debt of gratitude by our community, but I see Steve's contribution as a defense of our hunting traditions and the shifting cultural view of them. In Summary, He is on the leading edge of defending our culture, but I believe Divorce has more cultural impact on our way of life than any one man can defend against.

We actually hunt feral cattle in some parts of Texas. But not how your thinking. Here, many people have cattle on huge, heavily wooded properties. Over the years lots of cattle wander off property and deeeeep into wild timber and will eventually go completely feral. Every so often a few talented cowboys will get called out to go in with cur dogs and track down, bay, and drive these wild cattle to portable pens. These Woods Cattle can be incredibly aggressive and dangerous and it is an absolute badass adventure you'll never forget if you get the opportunity to tag along!

Completely wrong about feral hogs not having serious impact. I enjoyed the episode, but that is bad information at the end there. Feral hogs represent a serious problem as an invasive species, and cause significant damage to farmers crops. Its important for influential people like Steve to share accurate information.

[@tbcottonhead4175]

As someone in the Ag world, I highly value the contributions of our farmers and ranchers, however it needs to be stated that farm and ranch land is not "natural" either. Farming specifically clears land of it's natural vegetation, redirects the flow of drainage and changes the wildlife itself by creating artificial food sources, leading to an immediate deviation in natural flora and fauna. Farming is much more impactful to the land than an invasive omnivore. Walk any National Park wilderness area in Texas and you'll see that feral hogs leave behind evidence of their presence, but they do not intrinsically destroy the land. The environment itself will regulate the population of animals if humans disappeared tomorrow. If hogs overgrazed, the food sources would deplete, litter size would decrease and mortality would increase. Farming however permanently changes water, plant and animal distributions, creating outsized ecological impacts. In conclusion, hogs should DEFINITELY be managed to minimize their ecological and economic impacts, but to categorize them as phenomenally destructive to a natural ecosystem is disingenuous at best.
