So You Want to be a Hunting Celebrity?

[@paulhuval6579]

Thanks les for the update. I am glad you are doing good and like your truthful insight. God bless

[@Ghostchaser-fy3xk]

I learned a lot from your videos Les. You entertained and taught many of us. Best wishes to you and please keep fighting the good fight.

[@troyandrus982]

I have totally respect for a man that willing to do what ever it takes to make an honest living. And puts the same powerful effort into what ever he’s doing. Your a great example for people of all ages. Thank you

[@arrowspellets2728]

Mom always said "hard learning is good learning" you'll never do it the same way again. And most of us probably thought the complete opposite... I know i did. Like it or not you told it like it is, you've been there an done that. And my lord what a awesome shout-out! Wishing you all the best! Cheers Ed.

[@allandadfordsafaris848]

Salty & solid honesty is a rare thing in the industry today ! Thanks for sharing Les , love your You-Tube channel , Love Rob & Sarah's channel for several years now too , hang in there man , all the best & regards from South Africa brother !

[@robfilbey4436]

I saw you at the Outdoor show in Yorkton Saskatchewan, great show! We were so happy you were part of the show, and we enjoyed your presentation as a guest speaker! I hope to see you there next year!!! Thanks for sharing with us!

[@47dodgeguy]

I will miss your videos Les. Your straightforward advice and common sense approach contributed greatly to my coyote hunting success. As a former cast member of a reality TV show, I witnessed a lot of the same questionable behavior from the production company and the network. Most people do not realize that unless your show is wildly popular or mainstream, the reality of being on TV is not glamorous at all. It is very competitive and there is no loyalty. It is a lot of work, and your contributions and talent serve only to line the pockets of others. It's the ultimate stick and carrot game. Congrats to you for stepping back and not letting them abuse you. Hope to see you in my in box soon. Good luck. GO BIG RED.

[@mikefedor78]

Les I just started hunting coyotes this winter and want to thank you for what you teach, you keep it simple and understandable and not alot of confusing BS like some of these other coyote hunters out there. Thanks for all your help full & enjoyable videos!

[@richardwoodard8943]

Thank you Les for the great shows you’re doing you’ve Taught me a lot that I hope to learn a lot more from you keep up the great work

[@damonghanayem9982]

Les, first, thanks for everything you have done for the sport man! What an awesome ambassador you are brother. I love your honesty and even the hard truths you brought out on this today. Will always be a viewer of your show whether it’s on tv or KZbin or any other source. Appreciate all the info and great adventures you share! Even if it’s sitting in a loader making lime!! Be well my friend! Gatoboy

[@jghollen]

Thanks for sharing this.Good luck in the future.

[@tknoerle1451]

My prayers are with you, Les. I been praying fervently ....knowing things changed suddenly for you. You'll never lose my support... not even for a moment! Love you brother!

[@slit4659]

tknoerle1451 .....Looks like all praying did was give you SORE KNEES....😂😂😂😂😂

[@deankrause5480]

Good Luck Les, I really enjoyed your work, you made it look easy

[@keithbanther3385]

Wow! Appreciate the straight talk...had no idea but it all makes sense

[@mattstaci5907]

Mad respect for you Les. Best of luck to you in all you do

[@goatzega3006]

Man, I loved watching your show.

[@coreyhopkins8994]

I don't even have cable. I watch you on KZbin. But I do really enjoy watching you. Best of luck sir

[@rickannriccioni4334]

Definitely without a doubt the greatest of all time in many different arenas not just the coyote calling world. Keep your head up and hang in there. We as your loyal and faithful fans will always be there for you to support you in whatever way your path takes you. I don't feel as though I need the tv show anymore as I subscribe to your you tube channel and look forward to every Thursday when I get a notification that you have posted a new video. Good luck and God bless!!!!

[@mattschindler6741]

Good luck Les ur a stand up guy,we will still follow u on KZbin

[@EricMichaelJ]

I may be like quite a few others and find myself watching KZbin for my hunting videos instead of TV. I do have the Outdoor Channel and all of the predator hunting programs are set to record but typically I just watch stuff on KZbin. Glad you will have a presence on here because you are well respected and I sure enjoy watching your stuff!

[@tgrif04]

Good video, Les. I cannot get The Sportsman Channel thru my cable provider so I have only seen your show a couple of times but I do watch your KZbin videos all the time. Keep your head high and hang in there. Everything happens for a reason.

[@jwhit3849]

Enjoyed your candor, sorry it didn't work out. Enjoyed all of your shows!

[@Deathbybunjie]

Mr. Johnson, funny you mention deer meat for dinner. The only reason I started watching them a few years back was because you referenced them on your KZbin channel. I have watched them grow astonishingly since that time. You are right, TV is not going to keep up with his success on that show. Glad to hear you are still doing some of this though, my daughter and I both own ruffidawgs. We will support anything you do!

[@ChrisGilliamOffGrid]

Death by Bunjie Glad I saw your comment. KZbin deleted my channel, I had to start over. Now I gotta track down all you guys I was subbed too. 😉

[@deermeatfordinner]

Death by Bunjie les Johnson is the real deal! I guess I’m going to have to fly to Nebraska, hog tie him and drag him to Florida to do some fishing with me!!!

[@aspinabitch]

Love both your channels I'd love to see DMFD and you do something together hey maybe Robert and you can do some southern Illinois or Missouri stuff I'd definitely tag along!

[@benwassmann831]

You are the man. most people don't like to tell the truth about anything now days.I personally keep up with more of my shows on you tube than I do on TV. I work a DuPont swing shift in a factory for a living and enjoy being outdoors when i'm not at work.Robert has some pretty good shows on you tube. I watch quite a few of them.I do agree with you 100 percent with the industry going slow right now though. I had an archery and Tackle store for a few years , and things started getting rough in the end.

[@craigrock8444]

I'm going to find deer meet for dinner because I watched this. I also like your channel very much too Les! Keep rocking this you tube thing and growing it. Screw tv! You keep it real man. My best to you!

[@elitebowman5386]

Good luck Les, you certainly are a great Yote hunter. Wish the show worked out better for you. I still watch your KZbin channel and wish I could call in the Coyotes like you do. Best of luck in whatever path you take.

[@skoalpatrol8115]

Love the stories Les. Take care

[@Jrandkimberly]

I’ll support you any way I can. I named my new dog after you. Hopefully Les will be a good gun dog. Good luck to you, man. I’d hate to not see you on KZbin and Facebook

[@weekender38]

All news to me and shocking, thanks for your honesty.

[@rohlfing63]

Thanks for the update Les and good luck with your next round of adventures, whatever they may be. If you're gonna be spending a bunch of time in a loader seat though, see if the boss man will get you a Cat at least!!!

[@Pew_pewchronicles]

Keep your head up Les Good for you for taking a break and not letting the big companies abuse you I always enjoy your show I hope you’ll be back on TV but if you’re not here by uploading content to KZbin so we can follow you and get back to calling

[@rkba4923]

Good job, Les. Keep up the good work. Good luck for your future.

[@richhuntsd12]

Mr. Les Really liked this one. Especially the part about 'Hair loss" Been watching your DVD's for years, I love your enthusiasm. I just subscribed to your U tube channel. Hey, at least now you don't have to blurt out all of your sponsors names after each hunt.

[@douglawyer51]

Les thanks for all your past work. I have been after coyotes for over 40 years. I have learned a lot but as you know there is always mistakes and more to learn. Your information has always been rock solid and honest. I think you and your cameramen have done a great job. I borrowed a old mouth call from my grandpa when I was 16. Had just got my drivers license, went and called in a double, shot gunned the first one and missed with my .243 on the second. Was so happy to trick them close and get one. Hooked since that day, still love the shotgun kills. When I got home that day my family was packing suitcases. My grandpa had died while I was out hunting. One other thing, thanks to my dad for stressing the importance of gun safety. Carrying 2 guns and knowing when to load and unload and how to always be aware of where your muzzles are. Didn't mean to get so long winded but I feel strongly about the sport, it is so much fun. Thanks Les.

[@wespeters4798]

Great video keep up the good work👍🏽

[@gaylonmartin5235]

Hey Les ill miss the shows, but i want to keep up with mail, I still love to coyote hunt ,I am always learning and having fun at 65. God Bless.

[@owlcricker-k7ulm]

Les, I have always respected your skills and positive attitude. I now have a greater appreciation for you as a person who is living the American Dream. You have a great work ethic, enjoy working and earning your way in life. You are willing to take risks and make no excuses. If everyone in this country had your attitude toward life and work we would not have half the problems that we have now. Thanks for showing people what the attitude of an American looks like when it is in action. God’s Speed.

[@JayceBroda]

Keep on keepin on Les!

[@bobklimple1740]

Really enjoyed the Truth!! Great info for someone who will listen. Enjoying you back in the field. Do you have a guided coyote hunt?

[@daveybjr]

Les I just got started coyote hunting because of your KZbin videos. I hope that you continue to make videos because as a relatively new coyote hunter I enjoy your videos. I am needing some tips. I just use an electronic call because I don’t feel confident using a hand call. How long do you call and pause etc. ? Any tips would be awesome.

[@thedog24633210]

Les listening to your video it was hard to swallow the reality of the industary good luck to you Sir and take care

[@ewcalls]

Less, you kicked butt on those coyotes when few could. Today there are a hundreds of guys killing coyotes and filming from your learned experance and watching KZbin. You have always been a great hunter and a nice guy to me and I will pick up the tab on the coffee if I ever bump into to you.

[@skoalpatrol8115]

Sad thing about KZbin is click baiting (titles/thumbnails) is becoming mainstream to get views. I even see it on titles for your buddies channel. Best of luck Les!

[@hardworkinghunter8487]

good stuff man!

[@Big_Johns_Life]

Very insightful video that's why I never tried the TV and now KZbin thing is starting to hate the outdoor industry. I'm a small channel and I do everything from hunting to trapping and going to start doing cooking and more fishing. I started it to help take my sick wife on her dream hunts.

[@GwadeG10]

Mr les thanks for your honesty sir

[@slit4659]

I think I'll start a Coyote Hunting Show.....I'll call it COYOTE FOR DINNER.....

[@lsoutdoors2354]

Great info thanks for sharing

[@skoalpatrol8115]

Wish I could get out to Yorkton this weekend but unfortunately cannot. Do you have a speaking schedule available would love to catch you speaking one day.

[@toniesedrick691]

Great video Handsome.

[@dmorgan724]

Thanks Man!!!

[@slit4659]

LES....If you don't get to Running that LOADER you won't have a JOB in the QUARRY Either....Or TV SHOW ...or a You tube Show...Your Coyote Show is about the only hunting Show I watch....GOOD LUCK.... I'M Disabled but because of your Show I get some Energy to go sit out in the Woods and Call Coyotes once in Awhile.....THANKS TO YOU..... I'M here in CENTRAL OREGON and there's lots of Coyotes here.

[@preachersdayoff]

I like a straight shooter and that's why I like you. TV, like news papers are dying off and other media options are taking their place. KZbin and other internet video platforms are gaining leaps and bounds. 10 years ago people thought we were weird for not having cable or satellite TV and now it's common with Hulu and Netflicks. You should keep the youtube platform going, if the animal lovers and gun grabbers don't ruin it, it could be a steady source of income.

[@timhottinger2166]

I was wondering what happened. I'm glad you've not given up on hunting. I had your shows on record when they came on tv. I miss em. Good luck.

[@nickbass1776]

You are the man Les! Not surprised one bit by the truth!

[@kennyfloyd4801]

You are still my HERO!

[@helipilotbob6368]

I love dmfd that would be cool if he would have you on and help you grow your channel. I love your content.

[@regsparkes6507]

Les, I couldn't help but notice that the Loader had the bucket controls on your left!!!! Then it took me a few seconds to realize that the print on your shirt and cap were appearing in reverse. How did you manage to video this in reverse? ( or at least have this one presented here in reverse ) Regarding that Predator Quest business you're in, and which we enjoy, I for one, didn't realize just how 'cut throat'it can be . ( or is! ) I wish you good luck and Cheers!

[@brocksimmons9727]

Hey les love the channel. Just wanted to say hello and mention that if you wanted to come to missouri again your welcome to come hunt my farms with me down here in southwest mo. I've got a lot of different farms I call. I used to trap ALOT of fur with coyotes and cats being my main focus, had to give it up due to health but i am calling alot now. Anyway just shoot me a comment back if you would like. Thanks and keep it up

[@patrickbaker7962]

Sorry to hear that learned a lot form watching ur vid last year thanks

[@jeradlene1732]

Yeah thats sad about tv i did like your hunting show and your KZbin channel ile just keep watching your KZbin channel

[@alistersthorn]

Let’s take and teach kids and disabled and video them. You still impressed me buddy. I like your videos and show. I would like to see more of you in the future.

[@danielamberthompson2434]

Hmm debating the 6hr drive to Yorkton just to say hi

[@steemerxaxon1643]

It doesn't matter WHO can be a "BETTER" coyote caller/Killer Than LES JOHNSON ... WE ALL KNOW who the REAL PERSON THAT STARTED BEFORE ANYONE DID!!! & that's LES JOHNSON

[@ChrisGilliamOffGrid]

More fun being trapping celebrity. 😉😎😆

[@fckfracking6409]

I'll be that woman!! Ha..

[@Bambi926]

Predator Quest is the best hunting show IMO. I wish the show just completely took off, I got irritated watching other shows and them missing coyotes all the time, Les rarely misses. I actually don't pay for cable now so I really like having this channel on youtube

[@ChrisGilliamOffGrid]

Amber Murray Ever watched my channel?

[@ahunterstail1083]

it's not easy, I do my vids for me but I like to share them with the hunting groups and individuals who like to shoot and hunt be safe everyone and if you like my channel , please subscribe, like and share, great video mate

[@kylemeieroutdoors5056]

So no more morning java!? :( Ive been watching your tube channels for about a year. TV is a thing of the past. I haven't had cable for over 5 years. I would much rather watch a you tube video hunt than a drawn out tv show with one kill. Anyway, enjoyed the "heart of a teacher" in your coyote hunting adventures.

[@danielscoggan8004]

I bet KZbin just loves you

[@isitbowseason]

Coyote call industry ain’t that big 😭. Boy they screwed the pooch on that how many of us dropped at least $300 on one single call. Not to mention guns,scope and other gear. Now next gen thermals coming next year

[@bnicedanicest6288]

Wow I was wondering where you went and why Pursuit was running nothing but reruns of your show. I smell ya' on that one bad enough one can taste the rottenness. I was a commercial construction contractor when the recession kicked in and ALOT of contractors were bidding on the FEW projects going up (CUTTTHROAT) we were assuming a lot of risk for no profit to keep the lights on and the people working. Kind of hard to explain but I would've been better off staying at home not spending money than trying to make a dog race out of it and wind up paying for a job for unappreciative workers believe me years of that will burn anyone out So I did like you and took a break was great liberating like when your kids go on there own. Well the economy and construction are way better and gonna get even better so I'm back in the game I did it good the first time but with time to marinate on it I know I can do it bigger and better this go around and if there is anyone that can do it too is you too so I know with all that 12 hrs a day in that nice heated w/ AC machinery your pushin' you gotta a lot of time to marinate on it and being the master predator hunter you are you will already be knowing how you will approach your next stand and and make that 1000yd kill shot. I wish the best for you. Hope to start seeing your hunting videos again next season thx for sharing your knowledge and love of the outdoors sincerely

[@ashtanga2000]

Cable hunting shows are the past. KZbin and other social media is the future.

[@regsparkes6507]

But how can KZbin be the future for guy's like Les,...not paying them for the advertising money they're 'stealing' from them, not allowing those " big bad nasty and evil guns" to be shown ?

[@ashtanga2000]

Reg Sparkes who isn’t allowing guns to be shown? All the hunting videos I watch have guns.

[@regsparkes6507]

KZbin is trying it's best to do this.

[@ChrisGilliamOffGrid]

AshtangaBoy KZbin deleted my channel last month. It's not friendly to us trappers and hunters. I had 14k subs and now I'm starting all over because KZbin deletes anything people flag.

[@Houstonmoon1]

I found this after I sent the other message. Maybe I will run into you somewhere. GOD BE WITH YOU.

[@slit4659]

Rick.....Looks like YOUR FAKE GOD is SCREWING LES and his Hunting Shows.....F GOD
