The Rise, Demise, and Redemption of Chris "Booyah" Brackett | HUNTR Podcast

[@dustinweeza9723]

Watched his show years ago so i listened to the whole podcast. It was good of him to let it all out. It was hard podcast to finish with his personality and lack of humility for a "faithful Christian"

[@Tyjjordan]

Arrow affliction was a highlight of my childhood, nothing beat waiting for it to come on every Friday night!!!

[@HUNTRPOD]

Pretty awesome

[@randalllewis2434]

Hey Guys.. Just found your Podcast!! Absolutely love it. I’m a 63 yr old Hunter from Mid Michigan.. Flint area. We have some dandy deer here!! Have been a Chris Brackett fan since he started showing up!! It takes a lot for someone to go on the air, and bare their soul…. Thx Chris!! And thank you guys for such a great podcast!! You have a new fan in Michigan!!

[@williamsmith3960]

Since your from Michigan what’s your opinion on the Rompola buck real or fake I think it is the real world record but jealous hunters and Bias so called Bc scorers ruined this man and deer

[@portugal5698]

@@williamsmith3960was easily strongarmed/blackmailed out of his rightful achievement. 😢

[@Btaylor45023]

By far one of the greatest episodes yet, such an amazing story to hear especially for someone my age 24 that grew up watching all of the shows he was on and always wondering the true story of what happened to Chris. On top of the inspirational part of it and him really talking about how much he has changed his life and came realize what his true purpose is. Amazing episode guys!

[@Btaylor45023]

Im usually more of a fan of the better back and forth conversation podcasts yall do but it didnt get even the slightest bit boring just listening to him tell his story 90% of the episode

[@HUNTRPOD]

Really appreciate it man. We were here like you all for much of this podcast just tee it up and listen

[@kevinkirby6511]

God Bless you Chris! Arrow affliction was and is the best show ever!

[@bennyp8679]

Great podcast guys and much respect for Chris as he put it out there and told us many details on his side of an experience that he did not have to share. He spoke of personal ups and downs and made things public and I respect him for the courage to to this. Chris, I wish you all the best and I look forward to what you bring to the outdoor world in 2024. Happy Holidays guys and all the best to you and all of your loved ones in 2024.

[@heathsmith3998]

The best man definitely won, congrats Waddell!

[@DAVE-xw2ok]

Man I was a huge Chris Brackett fan back in the day. Talked with him several times and changed my Fandom. I enjoyed watching this, I just don't know how I feel about it still. I pray his faith has truly changed only thing important in all this

[@TheLymanDiamond]

Chris is just a man who is growing in Gods grace for he started out growing in repentance. Taking a stand with his woman to make it right in marriage is commendable, my brother. Keep living, brother Chris for the best is yet to come. Phil 1:6

[@phillipthewise7758]

Again great episode guys. That first hour brought back so many memories of me. Growing up hunting and how pure it used to be. Definitely a fan of Chris bracket as his personality almost mirror's mine lol

[@DAAshick]

Great episode guys! First time chiming in, you guys keep stepping it up, and to Chris if your reading, thanks for telling your half.

[@chrisking9424]

Couldn't listen much past the intro where he said he would use tannerite or his truck to kill deer if it was legal! No respect for the animal. Just because its legal doesn't make it morally right to do so. He just reinforced my perception I had of him in the past. Maybe i'll listen to the rest later but I doubt it. Still one of the best hunting podcast out there.

[@Zuperman07]

Yep no respect for wildlife at all by those comments of his.

[@dennyallen5914]

Ive listened to 5 of these podcasts, this is the best one so far.

[@HUNTRPOD]

Thanks Denny!

[@shawnclark9091]

I met Chris through Extreme Aerial Bow Fishing. He hooked me up and my whole family on the trip and treated us great. I've kept in touch off and on with Chris over the years since then. Great listen. Would love to hook up and do some more bow fishing. Does Chris still run the bow fishing?

[@garrettharlan4459]

Absolutely love this channel, been watching for a while. I have to say 2 things that really stood out was the fact he compared his state of mind of killing a deer to a veteran's mind who went to war and had to take a human life. That was the first thing that shocked me, they are nothing alike. The second being that he compared his "keeping quiet or not admitting to the charges" as basically the same as when the people condemned Jesus to the cross. The absolute gall he had to say that. But again love the channel and love the platform you give people to speak on these topics.

[@jaycpopejr]

Those 2 things stood out to me as well. Great episode for new and old hunters to listen to.

[@gordonneverdies]

I couldn't believe he said that. I haven't rolled my eyes this much in a while.

[@whitetail.roots.89]

I'm glad you brought some attention to the CWD shoots in IL. That has been happening near where I hunt in IL, and certainly has affected the area. Hope that comes to an end.

[@mikevernacchio5384]

Congrats on 28k guys. I remember when you were at like 2.7 lol. Said it before and I’ll say it again. It’s 1-Huntr 2-Rogan

[@HUNTRPOD]

Haha not sure about that but wild it keeps growing 😂

[@jasonhaga5412]

I loved watching Arrow Affliction and liked watching all of Chris's shows. He was a heck of a bow shooter. The trick shots he did was amazing. Glad to see him come out talk about this incident. After listening to this podcast, it's really changed my view of him. I know people make mistakes, but he's just a giant blow hole. He never once was apologetic about what he did. He tried to blame others and his past (abusive dad..etc..etc) for his actions while trying to praise Jesus. To blame sponsors for leaving him when his incident happened is pretty sad. Why would any sponsor hang around him when those videos showed up. Sounds like Huntr and him are teaming up for future projects, very sad for Huntr. Poor Jared sounds like he's in love with Chris.

[@39jimmyjam]

Nailed it!

[@coltonhurley2525]

I got to meet him 1 time and to sum it up he was a complete asshole. After watching this it's clear he's got an ego problem and he can't man up to the shit in his past instead of blaming everyone else. But yet he magically found God afterwards which to me I see as just a facade. But hey maybe him and CJ can team up since they both like poaching deer

[@hoggsnatcher210]

He didn't say anything wrong about what he done in any way that implied he was innocent of the charges. Unless I was watching something different than you, he said the whole situation was a blessing . And as a Christian , he should be praising Jesus!! We all live in a glass house so watch out throwing stones!!

[@DustinJohnson-h9d]

This was honestly the first podcast where we seen transparency at full capacity! Full respect to all 3 of you in this podcast, this wasn’t easy but it’s a heavy weight lifted. Chris Brackett, heartfelt and sincere and has no ego, we can all be better and do better and we do it together!

[@HUNTRPOD]

It was a lot laid out there which is about as good as we could have expected

[@DustinJohnson-h9d]

@@HUNTRPOD one more thing to touch on the content aspect of things, Chris Brackett made content that you could watch over and over and be intrigued. Content nowadays I find myself and many others skipping through the dull moments and there is the same thing flooded with the same energy. We grew up on content that was action packed filled with energy. I find myself watching more sheep hunts and other high energy hunts that are very non existent in the whitetail world of production nowadays.

[@gordonneverdies]

You think this guy has no ego? Did you listen to him talk? He's sounds like the Steven Segal of hunting.

[@chrisgutsie5320]

Best podcast to date for me, boys. All of HUNTR totally Killin it. Thanks, and thank you, Chris.

I’m BACK subscribed; your content during PRE-RUT here in West TN got in my head, my private surrounded by free shooting hunters, 100” average ‘good buck’ it was better 4yrs ago, y’all are Blessed! Thank You good discussions!

[@tankdogg60]

I got to hang out and chat with Chris at ATA in 2010, and he's a dude! I didn't get to see it, but I was told he was shooting playing cards in half sideways with his bow. I was videoing hunts in the industry at the time, and what a blast that show was! Best show I ever attended. It was a bowhunters dream come true! I hate to hear it's turned south, which is no surprise seeing how hunting shows have changed since I was around the industry. Y'all are right. It was one huge close community back then. After parties and hanging out with the top names in the industry, it was like hanging out with old high school buddies. I was with some people that knew Chris, and we hung out for a while. He was as humble, cool, and down to earth as anyone I'd ever met. He stayed way after and talked with fans and friends. I met a ton of people from the industry who were awesome and also some not so much. Alot of keyboard pirates on here that pretend they've never been in the wrong. If some of them knew half of the stuff that's gone on in the industry, they'd be mindblown. People make mistakes, and I'm happy to see Chris tell his story. He was a wolf in his day, and I hope he makes a comeback. When you're in that spotlight, everyone is out to point fingers and hoping you slip. Good to see Chris with his faith in JESUS!

[@mattthrasher3674]

I’ve been a Chris Brackett fan since the beginning & still am. We are all human & make mistakes & Chris is definitely a genuine guy. I want to see a Brackett comeback. BOOYAH

[@darrellstout8014]

Everyone one makes mistakes and they usually change for the better. Chris is a great dude regardless of his past.

[@CDP151]

Never have been a fan of his. Always thought he was a DB so when the story broke of him poaching, I wasn’t surprised. I’ll give him credit though for coming on there and telling his story. Interesting episode guys, well done.

[@jimmyperez5881]

Great episode guys felt the genuine honesty and you Guys knocked out the box thank you 🙏🏼

[@The_hopeful_hunter]

I don't have a problem forgiving a guy for screwing up. One thing I don't get is to go on a podcast to ask for forgiveness then try to take jabs at Don higgins and josh bowmar? I don't like either one from a hunting content standpoint but not sure chris is in position to bash anyone. Idk

[@bjsparks862]

Bowmar is a tool for sure!

[@brendanfitzpatrick57]

[@BlueCrab119]

Chris says they STOLE footage from me and turned it in. They stole it 🤣 it’s not consider steeling when you’re turning a crime in.

[@POLSKIMOTOR102]

Very happy you guys spent time talking on the CWD situation in northern Illinois. I've seen myself how sharpshooting has ruined this part of the state. I manage my farm just to lose deer to sharpshooters across the road on DNR owned land. Even our local game warden disagrees with the practice but explained to me how their hands are tied by the state biologists.

I went bow fishing for Asian carp with a couple of buddies with Chris Brackett on the Illinois river near Peoria about 12 - 15-ish years ago in the summer. It was about 100 degrees out that day but we had a blast ! Taking a shower afterwards at Chris' house covered in sweat and fish smell was one of the best showers I ever had.

[@daveyboy8907]

Chris " I'll hit em with a truck" Brackett.. I watched Chris come up.. Chris lived in my hometown and started a bowfishing business back in the day, and he would arrow asian carp the flying fish.. I love how hes straight forward and tells it like it is.

[@mikegiles5162]

I don’t know if I’ve ever heard someone talk in circles so much in my life. Almost 0 humility or accountability. I’m glad he came on to tell his side though. Even if he did execute the 5 D’s of dodgeball whenever the uncomfortable came up. I’m happy he seems to have cleaned up his act but I think he has a ways to go before the man in the mirror is the man he thinks he is.

[@butane2240]

This podcast made my brain hurt😂😂. My man was all over the place. I’d say he’s more bipolar than autistic. He’s up, he’s down, he’s gonna punch a dude in the face, but he’s hard to get mad, he loves life, he hates everything etc…etc…. 😅😅

[@outdoorsports2907]

I saw the reason he was going back and forth a couple of times, at least. Lots to cover and understand . All about one's mindset

[@matthewburkholder]

He did good being open and honest about it. Too many times ppl give a polished statement that looks like a lawyer wrote it up.

[@danielwilson716]

Great podcast! For anyone to think they could 100 percent roll through the rise and pressures of living that lifestyle without making mistakes or letting shady folk or people with alternative motives lead you or cause you issues that you wouldn’t have regularly been a part of is completely lying to themselves!

[@chrispark6927]

I'm kind of surprised you guys have taken to Chris Brackett so well. If you think about it, his mistake is exactly what you guys have been concerned about recently. Using a muzzleloader he has never shot before, sending zingers at multiple bucks...this is the mentality that causes us to not have any mature deer to hunt. People taking more than their fair share of our limited resources. I personally don't have anything against the guy. People can change. I'm glad he's found the light of Jesus.

[@JimBowSlice]

One thing i can thank chris for is a clip i saw a while back telling people to spend time with their mothers.

[@gioseddon]

[@TravisEngle333]

He blocked me on social media long ago because I called him out on a game warden rant, Loved Arrow Affliction. Pretty open and honest. great listen

[@DickieTunes80]

Great segment guys, I truly feel like he laid it all out here. We as hunters have all been in a position where we may have stepped over the line a time or two, 99% of us have at one point in time said should I do this or not. He was exactly what you said he was the 200” buck that they just had to take down. They used him to set an example and ultimately he paid his dues. Chris said it best we’re all human, none of us are perfect every single one of us is a sinner. He has chosen to take another approach to his life and that’s his choice to make. I can remember when he started the aerial bowfishing and all of my friends were like we gotta go down there and try this. We all watched his shows weather you loved him or hated him he produced amazing content. I wish him nothing but the best as he ventures on his new journey in life. The industry has definitely changed it’s become a game of inches literally, how big was he, is what lost people ask. We need to showcase more of the true raw emotions afield when it’s a kids first deer, first anything that true raw emotion is what we all can relate to and remember why we love learned to hunt so much.

[@forgerat]

After listening to the entire pod I like chris brackett. I got into hunting after the whole debacle and I think he will find there is probably a lot of people like me who will enjoy his content with no prejudice from his past mistakes because we are new to hunting.

Stay humble, focused and disciplined and everything else will fall where it should. While he was clearly focused, I didn’t hear much from him that indicates he’s humble or disciplined.

[@dionysis84]

This was cool to see him spill it all out there. That’s the first time I heard the full story because all most of us had before was the clips of him shooting and yelling at the camera man or whatever. I totally get the burnt out part with hunting.. when it starts to feel like a stressful job, it’s time to knock it down a notch or take a break. I’ve stressed myself out so bad that it made me sick not killing a big buck or even worse, missing 2 giant bucks the last 2 seasons. It’s the worst and takes all the fun out of the sport

[@c.sutton13]

Greatest 1 I have seen so far

[@motel1-gg2qb]

Too many I don't cares coming out of his mouth when he describes what happened. I can't get past that. The fall from grace for this man has been very steep. I remember him back in the day. He was a great entertainer, very dynamic, but the fame got the best of him.

[@karsonhull7230]

This is definitely top 10 best episodes from you fellas. I was is highschool when the whole video got released and didn’t have resources back then to research much about it so I thought he was kinda a complete d-bag based of his personality and then that on top made me dislike him a lot more. Him explaining the story and everything really changed my mind and realize that he’s definitely changed and he was definitely in a different mindset back then. Glad to hear his side and see he’s changed for the better! Again, great episode fellas!

[@thetrooper1061]

Chris is blaming aspergers for being a douche. Between that and the narcissistic rambling was a tough listen.

[@kenfernsler6507]

Great podcast. I still follow him on Facebook. Yes he can come off arrogant. He still dose alot to try and help other hunters. He is very knowledgeable and was a great shot with a bow. His shows were entertaining and he's still entertaining. Alot of people would have done the same thing as him with the pressure of the industry and the amount of money that was at stake. Anyone that rises to the top like he has from nothing is going to have a certain level of narcissistic behavior. Ive never met a person who was famous or trying to be famous that wasnt into them selves.

[@PublicLandAdvocate]

I know you guys are big into private land but let’s have the conversation about public land protection so more people can get out and hunt.

[@MichiganPublic]

“I’ve shot too many 130” 8 points to care.” If someone’s that far gone you need to leave the sport. I like this podcast but they seem to side with the well off tv guys too much for me. These tv guys ruin it for us regular people. Some of us do care, a broken sinful person would admit their wrongs. Not compare a hunting violation to a dui.

[@TTM_TheTraditionalMindset]

But it is the same thing. It’s a violation. People do dumb stuff some time, I’m sure you’ve made mistakes. Like he said, he got lost in the sauce, that’s usually when god kicks you in the shins and brings you back to give you a chance to be found again

[@justinlivengood2109]

After watching this, I get completely where he’s coming from, he’s wanting a 2nd chance and he’s kinda tried his best to make things right etc I think it comes down to his personality or who he portrayed himself to be on tv years ago, I’ll be the first to admit, he kinda rubbed me the wrong way when he was on the outdoor channel / sportsman channel just because he was so different, but again that being said all because he’s not my cup of tea Doesn’t give me the right to not give him a fair shake. I do think the story about the Indiana deer is a little hard to believe or follow, but like he said, most of that stuff is documented and factually logged with all the legal stuff that was involved. Overall I do think this podcast did him some good on winning some people back! He’s changed my mind about who he is now compared to who his was then. I’m glad to see he’s changed his perspective on life and realized killing deer isn’t what this life we get to live is all about even though we all obsess over it.

[@Iowa_Whitetail]

I actually didn’t know who Chris was - I have not watched but a few shows in 10-15 years. Everyone has opinions & mine is no more valid than the rest… everyone screws up & “hunting industry” puts itself at a category like it’s the center of the world. It’s not. Being around “hunting industry” but keeping my distance - I am glad for this. The industry needs change. There’s too much toxic elements involved. We need more humble good people doing TRULY PASSIONATE things in this industry. If we don’t change the trajectory - more folks are gonna turn off it off with what it’s become. Egos, doing all for $ & the company whore house approach is not working. Everyday guys see a “yuck factor” in much of the television model. I like a lot of people in it but we all need a collective refocus. I’m Last one to judge & like any human - hope hearts & soils are changed & redemption is ALWAYS there for us. Granted by God & that’s how we are to treat others as well- with forgiveness. Great discussion & reinforces my strong belief that this industry needs a total remaking & focus!!! Good job & merry Christmas.

[@jasonbrownlee5151]

Another great podcast guys. Glad to hear Chris's side of the story. Love him or hate him Chris Bracket is a bad mofo arrow affliction was one of the all time great hunting shows and definitely one of my favorites. Chris seems to be truly humbled and i believe his apology is sincere. Im not gonna lie I liked booya Chris Bracket he was brash and a bit arrogant but he backed it up with his hunting and archery shooting skills thats undeniable. Some people dont care for John Eberhard because hes a bit arrogant but as a Michigan hunter I have the utmost respect for him because i know how tough it is to kill mature bucks in heavily pressured states. Its not being cocky if you back it up. Most of the people hating on guys like this aren't even remotely close to being on their level of skill. Gotta give respect where respect is due regardless of whether someone is humble cocky or somewhere in between. I look forward to seeing more from Chris in the future. Great job again guys keep up the good work 👍. BOOYAH 😁

Then it’s one less thing us hunters have going for us for independent food source, and also too have firearms. “No need too hunt if there’s no wild game, so don’t need a firearm”. That’s always been a big thought about it but oh well, most people would say eh tinfoil hat or something dumb.

Exactly what I believe

They will use the bird flu to take out wildfowl hunting..Alot of agendas at play here.

In Missouri, there is quite a bit of evidence that CWD sharpshooting is working. I'm not really for that...mixed feelings. Either way, you guys should have Jason Sumners from Missouri Dept. of Conservation on the podcast Great voice for hunters and the disease side of things. You guys would love the conversation.

Hey fellas, in South Dakota it’s called Indigenous Peoples day not Columbus Day! I’ll be listening on oct 14th for the correction 😊

Its sad that a guy cant apologize and state reasons to why they made choices not excuses and describe the path they took to get to the conclusion and place they are. People are arrogant and judgemental as ever and it shows. The lack of forgiveness and understanding drives the division in this world and shows to be abundant.

I think I would legitimately cry if this podcast ends anytime soon lol.

I didn’t know who Chris was until I looked him up on google and saw old pictures of him. I don’t know how to feel about this one, I wish you guys would have set the tone right from the beginning and called him to the mat when he said the old bullshit line of “it’s my property I’ll kill a deer how I want too as long as it’s legal” just because it becomes legal doesn’t mean it’s a good thing for the resource. So that made me think he was kinda a dink for that line but all in all I can’t say I like or dislike him but regardless I appreciate the conversation. Great pod boys!
