HOW DO WE MAKE MONEY?? - Starting a Hunting Show

[@TitleistFJ33]

Do you all have jobs outside of KZbin?

[@justinmailloux549]

I was hoping they were going to answer that question in this podcast. How do they get by?

[@TheHuntingPublic]

We touched on it briefly in the podcast, but we (Aaron, Zach, Greg) own a media production company called "The Woodsguys Inc." That is our jobs, we create digital content. Most of what we do is directly related to The Hunting Public brand, but we also create content for other businesses as well. The money comes from our partnerships, KZbin monetization, promo codes, etc. Hope that makes sense. Thanks for watching!

[@TitleistFJ33]

The Hunting Public what about Jake and Ted? Do they work strictly for you all or do they have jobs on the side?

[@TheHuntingPublic]

TitleistFJ33 they work for The Woodsguys Inc as subcontractors. Ted also helps his dad with their family business

[@Schnot]

The Hunting Public Thank you for your transparency. That means a lot in my book.

[@BoneCollectorTube]

Well said guys and thanks for promoting your hunting culture and keepin' it real. We've been saying it for years. Start by asking yourself "do you really, truly, passionately love it?" If there were no TV shows, no online platforms, no chance at all for any notoriety, would you still hunt? As an industry, TV or digital, we have to actively try and promote hunting on whatever platforms we have the ability to do so, and keep it REAL. It shouldn't ever be about me, me, me. It's about the culture of the hunter. Happy hunting men!

[@dougcounts3383]

Guys I love it! My family thinks I'm half nuts to love hunting and the woods as much as I do. Thankfully they put up with me getting up early and getting ready morning after morning. They love the natural protein deer and turkey provide. I only hunt public land. Love the challenge. If you ever are looking for an employee please keep me in mind. I'll hold the camera!

[@shift00420]

Easy to say when realtree payed the bone collector cast lots of $$$

[@cdlindsey7864]

@@shift00420 that's true the hunting industry is like MLB howmany players would really play if they had to pay for fights and hotels and food probably not many whitetail adrenaline is the only true sponser free hunting videos I love hunting public great show great guys

[@shift00420]

Chris and DeAnna Lindsey agreed & rightfully so. They created a brand & were the face of it. I wasn’t denying that they deserve it....

[@zakminnich2255]

You guys are 100x better than watching the outdoor channel.

[@jacobcannon8441]

True story!

[@Ladaniels83]

Absolutely! Real dudes with real message and mission. Love the content and appreciate all the hard work.

[@martinsuper4545]

It's the most authentic hunting show I've seen. Spooked deer, missed shots, etc... It happens to all of us, why not in a show too?

[@darrenbarder4644]

So true, and half of it is they hunt public land and still find and kill game, its nuts there so good, and so entertaining. You can actually learn stuff from them

[@ronniereeljr4339]

I been watching these guys for 3 years there real friends doing what they love .they had jobs and normal lives .they have grown and the channel has grown it's freed them upto hunt more in the last two years I love there personalty way better and learn alot with them

[@CatmanOutdoors]

Thanks for the kind words y'all... one thing that wasn't mentioned (or I just missed it) is that collaborating with other like-minded channels is a great thing for both parties, and something I only recently started dabbling in.

[@kellywoodward8891]

I enjoy both of your guy's style's of content,I enjoy seeing the hunting with your friend's content that hunting public show's reminds me of the time's i had in my younger year's with my crazy group of hunting and fishing buddies i shared and made a lot of goodtime's with,but now I find myself doing those thing's alone like catman does,I spend a lot of time night and day in my boat just me against the fish without the other interuption's it's peaceful,and catman the walnut trick for the worm's was very helpful thank's for sharing that tip,Keep on being you and staying true to your vision and I will keep looking forward to the notification's letting me know that there is something good on youtube to watch today.

[@travisweaver9767]

I absolutely love what you guys do, the way you operate, the way y’all are just real, your content is so relatable. I like that you don’t use scent control but you hunt the wind, etc. I am a conservative Christian and I like that your language is mostly family friendly, I don’t want my boys to watch shows with bad language. I enjoyed your podcast, I’m very sensitive about too many ads, etc. you have a good balance. I would definitely like to see you continue the program as it is right now, if you start having too many ads I’ll be one of the first ones to quit watching y’all. I love your channel, keep up the good work!

[@t.d.hughart5121]

Travis Weaver if ya don’t play the wind them turkeys will smell ya every time ! Lol

[@dankrzmarzick5705]

You guys are a breath of fresh air. Your loyalty to the viewer will only make you more successful as time goes on. I hunt 95% public. Your content is relatable and informative. Great Stuff!

[@TheMaineHunt]

The reason I continue to watch you guys and support you guys is because you are honest and it’s easy to tell you’re being yourselves. I so appreciate that you guys are genuine. Keep it up!

[@lukesizemore542]

And that's why I love this channel. Honest hard-working guys! 👍🏼

[@FloridaTurfPros]

The thing that drew me to your videos is the authenticity of the hunt. I love how you guys don’t hunt food plots or hunt bred deer on private. There’s something very nostalgic about seeing you guys in your own camo setup, using your own gear, and being relatable to every guy hunting with his buddies. Keep it up. Hands down best hunting show.. not just on KZbin.. ever. This is a new way of delivering content and it’s better than anything that’s been put out before.

[@Outdoors0918]

Your aggressive hunting styles keeps me coming back. I never knew I was a timid hunter until I watched you guys. It's awesome getting to see REAL hunters scout, hunt, and adapt to what the outdoors throws at them. The success, the failures, all of it. Keep it up guys! Never sell out to the TV style shows. I dont watch them for many reasons. Thanks fellas

[@TheHuntingPublic]

Thanks for your support Daniel! We appreciate it.

[@justicefall1917]

Honest and straightforward! I truly look forward to each and every video y’all put out because it’s real true hunting and nothing fake! I wish y’all many more years of producing the very best hunting videos anywhere!! Thanks for all you do!

[@zebmartin995]

I appreciate the fact that your focus is on tactics, not products. Your partnership with Woodhaven turkey calls is a good example. It comes off as a friendship, not a hard sell. By the way, many thanks for the Turkey Tour. It was a great part of a wet, rainy late winter/early spring. Love your personalities, footage, and approach. Keep it real!

[@christianskibinski337]

I have watched from the beginning and even before when you were the public land guys on Midwest whitetail. Watched every video and truly love every one! I think it’s not just the content but it’s being able to relate with your style of hunting, the camaraderie you all share and the pure excitement you all share together.. Totally can relate to all of it and learn and adapt my own hunting to things I have learned from your videos. Thank you! Please keep the videos coming! The best around bar none! Can’t wait for deer tour 19 to start!!

[@TheHuntingPublic]

Thanks Christian! We appreciate the kind words!

[@whitetailhabitatsolutions9751]

Very cool vid guys 👍 So many hunting companies or hunting individuals live or die by their sponsorships...which is why the vast majority of them fail. Folks are tired of infomercials within hunting shows. There needs to be multiple streams of income. Would you believe that I used one hunting product for 27 years before I received a check from them? 🙂 If you can't recommend a product to your readers, viewers and in my case clients too...why use the product!? So many switch from product to product to chase dollars and I believe that loyalty is the new avenue for the hunting industry. Well...I hope so. Keep up the great work guys...I'm a huge fan! You have to find your niche that matches your passion and you guys have nailed it...

[@richdeerhunter]

There are only a handful of channels that I truly love. This is pretty high praise from Sturgis who is no slouch in the business and in the deer woods. I trust Sturgis and THP's deer/hunting knowledge without question and I've learned a ton from both.

[@martinsuper4545]

Sturgis and THP are my only two hunting channels. Here you both are.

[@George-ro6bw]

Well stated Jeff.

[@WildBoutHuntin]

I appreciate this video / podcast more than you know. It is not easy building an outdoor brand and it's great to hear your focus and what you can share as far as your plan for what you all do.

[@dcraig303]

Hi, my name is Daniel and I’ve been watching THP for a couple of years now. I loved the deer tour from last year and I’m happy for you guys with your successful season. You guys kicked off the tour in Kentucky and harvested some fantastic bucks. I’ve lived here in Kentucky most of my life and most of my hunting over the last 17 years has been on public land with good results every year. If you all ever make your way back to Kentucky and are looking for more public land to try feel free to reach out. Good luck hunting this year guy.

[@j.t.lumberjack7943]

I'm a new subscriber. I'm not a big subscriber period. Two words I'd use to describe you guys and your approach..... FUN and CLEAN. You guys have fun. Joking etc. And no swear words and macho facades. And no music that is distracting, too loud, etc. Really feel like we're just going on a hunt together. Love it.

[@sethwells5266]

I now this is an old video, probably wont see this but you guys honestly are the sole reason I've scouted public this year and doing some spot stalks and other hunts on public. Best youtube hunting channel!

[@BuckCreek67]

I like THP because it’s real. Nothing staged or baited. I’ve been hunting public for 50 years, and there’s nothing easy about it. The fact that y’all get great footage in multiple states is a testament to hunting abilities of all the guys. Being able to go into a area new tract public land and find the spots to get a shot on Deer or Turkey is quiet a accomplishment. Especially getting the video footage. My favorite hunting show period. Keep up the good work

[@kentellis6971]

I burnt out on hunting shows several years ago as they seemed to be just one big ad. Came across your channel on amazon prime and got hooked, great content. Keep it up guys.

[@trentlarm30]

Definitely one of the most relatable platforms out there. The way you guys deliver the video with explaining your sets and not posting ads is awesome!

[@matthewforrest2208]

I really appreciate your transparency the hunting public. Honestly this makes me want to support you all more than I already do. Not only do I love your mission statement, but your videos have changed the way I hunt. And that information you provide your viewers is priceless

[@MidwesternTrapper]

I love all your guys content....I hunt whatever is in season so I’m always willing to watch a squirrel hunting video, a deer hunting video, and definitely the turkey hunts. Keep up what you guys are doing! Your killing it and way better than watching tv. I will watch whatever adds you guys have because I love the content.

[@shanetaylor60]

With you guys being 100% is what keeps me watching you guys because y’all are the every day man just out in the outdoors like us average guys.. keep you the good work

[@bwhitaker85]

Coming from a Texas hunter I respect you guy’s work and info finding where the deer are. My 10 year old son and I have connected even more thru your videos on Prime. Keep up the good work! You’re making me want to get back into public hunting, after growing up that way and now hunting feeders. Amazing aspect of how hunting really is. Keep it up!

[@scotthurley4967]

Came across your channel via Prime Video. Since that day I binge watch lol. What I like is you all are not hunting the score. If the buck or doe is something your proud of then you harvest it. Other channels are always well he will score 180'' or 200''. Keep up the great work, and don't change!! Thanks

[@denniswhite6660]

You guys are great! Keep doing your thing, your hunts are so relatable. I could hang out with any of you. Shout out to Mindy too for helping keep you guys in the field and helping with the recoveries. Thanks for keeping it real!.... Kentucky.

[@robclinejr4085]

One of the reasons you probably got sponsors is because your viewers come first and you guys do an awesome job

[@chriswright6141]

You guys are great and thats we love watching and supporting THP and also The Untamed !, my 2 favorite hunting channels

[@kikeeeYT]

Hello guys, long story short, you all are very transparent with us so I'm going to be very transparent about my comment. I enjoy your videos much more because I am able to see how you are able to hunt great deer. The scouting including, camera placements, trail scouting, pond scouting, reading ridges on maps, tree stands, and all the information you provide me with is much more valuable than seeing sponsors info, and without you shoving these ADs down my throat, I'm able to see what I need to have a great hunt. For example, I'm going to buy a muddy tree stand because I have seen how versatile and useful they are based on the hunts you guys have filmed. And I have looked at other tree stands, not just MUDDYs, and I personally like their stands better because I like how simple they are, and they are easy to set up. Great philosophy, great show, great company, and great genuine people. Thank you, God bless your families and I hope to see you around for many years.

[@eddiekeeling454]

I love watching yalls channel a bunch of down to earth guys doing what they love. And I'm sure you're viewers as well as myself learned alot from yall.

[@timothyperiard7048]

Thanks Aaron & Greg for keeping it real! I love the content of your videos and starting watching them last year and enjoyed everyone of them as it really shows your passion for hunting as we all have. You guys are right, when you allow your sponsors to take control you lose the purpose of what it is all about, that is the real honest true about hunting. That is what I enjoy about your videos. If there is a product your using I want to know IT WORKS!. I don't want to waste my hard earned money on crap that doesn't work. Keep up the great work and thank you for keeping it real! Looking forward to this years hunts.

[@TNOutdoorsFanatic]

Excellent advice! I don’t understand the fickle mindset of some people who unsubscribe over something small that they don’t agree with even after being a fan for many months or longer. I attend the NWTF Convention every year, and I am blown away at the number of people I overhear talking to OEM’s trying to get them to sponsor them. Not to mention the number of “brand influencers” running around is staggering. The ways of media and marketing are changing rapidly. Personally, I produce my limited content as a way of recording our adventures, sharing with others, and do what I can to educate others. I find my kids going back watching old videos and laughing, the same way people have done for years when they see old home movies 5, 10, 15 years afterward. I have been approached by a couple of people about joining their pro-staff and creating content exclusively for them, but that just isn’t for me. I already have a job that I enjoy and allows me to hunt, plus I can record and edit whatever content I want. You guys, Carman, Born & Raised, Randy Newberg, & others have been an inspiration to me, and I love watching your content. Keep up the good job, and there will always be haters. I find it unbelievable that in a day when hunting is under attack by leftist organizations, that we as hunters often tear each other apart over the smallest of differences.

[@CNCoutdoors]

You guys are inspiring, never quit!! Can’t wait for the deer tour!

[@TheHuntingPublic]

Thanks Cole! Can't wait for the deer tour as well 👍🏻

[@donaldmcquilling1431]

YOU GUYS HAVE THE BEST DANG HUNTING SHOW AROUND; GREAT PERSONALITIES THAT COMPLEMENT EACH OTHER ; GREAT CONTENT; AND VERY HUMBLE. LOVE ALL YOUR VIDEOS AND ALWAYS LOOK FORWARD TO THEM DAILY. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!! YOU HAVE ABSOLUTELY NAILED IT.

[@paulcaudill5543]

A little late to your channel. Just found it 2 weeks ago. I love how you show failures as well as your success. It makes you realistic compared to those who only show success 🙌 💯 👌

[@jakep179]

I have watched you guys for several years. Shane Simpson is also another channel I watch religiously. What sets you guys apart is your unique ability to relate to the average hunter. Not everyone can afford a $1200 bow and a 400 acre hunting lease fully planted with food plots. In the last 10 years I have seen less trucks pulling up to state land, and more facebook posts asking where to find private hunting leases. It's almost like hunting is becoming a hobby for the rich. I started out with a $100 craigslist bow and a Panasonic Play Sport camera 15 years ago. Luckily, I'm now in a position in life to be able to afford the nicer bows and fancy equipment. But none of it has made me more successful, it's just made hunting more convenient. The outdoor channel shows would have you convinced that you will never harvest a deer, turkey, duck etc if you don't buy product "x". Above all else, what sets you guys apart is your passion. You can see it in every video. It is 100% real hunting. The good, the bad, the ugly....you guys capture it all. I honestly had no idea you guys did this as a living....and that says a lot! So many "professional hunters" hinge on sponsorships and it shows. Aaron is spot on when he says you can see that the passion fades in these guys over time. Suddenly the focus is off the experience of the outdoors, and the spotlight is put on the product that brings in money. Keep up the great work!

[@johnd7215]

Love what you guys do! If there was one thing that stands out to me as being maybe the greatest thing you have going for you is the friendships you all share and the fun you have doing what you do. You all bring such great commentary and I have learned so much about the woods watching you shows that has helped me hunt better.

[@robgreer9726]

Really enjoy your content. You guys hunt hard and outwork most of the others. ElkBros and you guys are my favourites because you're more genuine then most of the others.

[@ridgeraisedoutdoors]

Quit while ahead is right! We're honest public land hunters and just love to put out good quality film like you guys.

[@mikekay8534]

Im from Florida, me and my son are heading to Iowa in 2 hours. Watch you guys all the time. Thank you, thank you for your style. Love that catman too. You guys are like my freinds.

[@mikeumbrell8343]

I think we watch you because; we are guys like you. You don’t just talk the talk, you most efficiently walk what you talk. l believe the content of the way you approach a hunting situation is to inform and educate, “we”, the average public hunting guy. We may not possess the skills you guys have but l believe you want to educate, without implying through a product sponsor, that if your going to harvest a nice buck, you need to use that product to do so. That is what is so refreshing about watching your site while giving us the play by play. Guys keep doing what you do because THP, in my opinion, is one of the best if not the best hunting video site’s on U Tube. Thank you for your refreshing approach to the hunt and the way you present it without the focus on a sponsor.

[@bedwards733]

Excellent guys, never change that attitude about what you do, the genuineness of what you all bring to the videos is what keeps me watching.

[@jessesmith-pinkham7236]

Honest hunting by honest guys! That’s the reason we all faithfully watch you. Thanks for the great content. And put Maine on your list for next turkey season, you won’t be disappointed! If you want a challenge come for deer season. Keep it up guys, I’ll be waiting for your next notification!

[@JYD2756]

I appreciate y'all keeping it real! Thanks for your honesty in all things hunting along with including your family and friends.

[@cantgetenoughoutdoors3258]

When Cattman was cooking at turkey camp the bacon eggs coffee I said to myself now that’s living! His channel is cool

[@mot0rhe4d40]

What drew me to you guys is a great many things y'all do is the kinda stuff I did when I was a younger guy figuring out the whole hunting thing ( didn't have anyone to show me the ropes ) Trying unorthodox things etc. And it was finding your channel that lit a fire under my ass to go hunting again. Hadn't hunted in a number of years, since losing my father-in-law ( My hunting buddy ). Cheers, happy hunting and keep it real guys.

[@1TZSL0]

I enjoy the literally day to day or day to 2 day video uploads in real time. You hunt one day and within a day or 2 you are uploading that video. I like to see recent uploads. I LOVE to see THIS YEAR HUNTS not a year later like on TV... Keep doing it guys I love it and I have my 60 year old father starting to watch your videos also. It reminds him of his 20's doing the same thing he done and taught myself how to hunt.

[@dustinsloan2631]

I have been a subscriber for like 1-2months now and I have watched the old and can’t wait to watch the new ...it’s helped me get more pumped for deer season

[@dougmiller8099]

Your videos are so unique. Don't change a thing. Enjoy your videos and podcasts 👍

[@markbatzel]

I have to call it like it is and address the pink elephant on this one. I fell in love with you guys on another platform where you got your start before THP. I feel a lot of people did too because it showed another aspect of hunting we could relate to. I public land hunt and travel from spot to spot. Not everyone is blessed with a 1200 acre Iowa farm to grow big whitetails on. I don't know the details of what happened between you guys, nor do I really care, but it would be nice to give credit where credit is due. Zach and yourself had to have learned a decent amount while with the other show for two or so years. You were exposed to a side of the business most don't get to see. Most people don't get that type of grooming or exposure. I had a mentor in my line of work and while we are no longer talk, if it wasn't for him, I wouldn't be where I am today. You guys really do a great job of limiting the sponsorship ad pushes. I found OnX through you guys and absolutely loved it. Was nice to get 10 or 20% off something I was already going to buy. You guys have extremely amazing hunts where you show the ups and downs.

[@pwforester05]

Thanks for sharing! I have watched this video twice now and am hoping someday to share my interests and experiences. I follow all the gang meaning BRO, Hush, ... and really am inspired by you all. Thanks again for all you guys do and the honesty and integrity you have in your work.

[@cvongall66]

You guys are my favorite show. I can't wait for the next one. I've been a subscriber for a couple of years now. And I still go back to the ones I didn't see from before I subscribed. Keep doing what you do. It's a good formula.

[@vaughngarner7360]

Love the content. All of us that watch appreciate when we see yall dealing with the same obstacles we have to. Keep it up

[@oldoutdoorman6648]

Your welcome, your content is really good don't stop I love all your videos, even when unsuccessful it's real hunting, my success has improved because of your videos. Please don't stop. Thanks

[@TristanSAlexander]

Please never stop making videos. Love you guys!

[@Eddie80580]

I started seeing y’all on Amazon prime on my fire stick the other day. Watched season 1,2,3 and that’s all on Amazon. Then had to get more and found you on KZbin. I like how relatable you all are. Goofy guys hunting in the woods with what you have. Not super uppity elitist hunting. Thanks!

[@clayhayeshunter]

Well done fellas, and very true. Create something you're passionate about, do it because you love it, put out great content, and the dollars will come! Keep it up. ch

[@FishingwithFro]

You all are awesome, I appreciate all the great content you put out. Hope the channel blows up way more than it already has, i think when i started watching you all, you were at about 40k subs, now at 217k, you all are killing it!

[@keithglover5629]

I love everything y’all have done! I look forward to every episode! I just hope y’all keep doing what y’all are doing! Thank you!

[@danielsmith8659]

I don’t watch the channel or follow you on Instagram because of product recommendations. I simply thought it was cool to see people who travel around turkey and deer hunting on public land. And it’s amazing how I see the similarities in the thought process that goes into new ground and new animals. I feel like I’m sitting right next to yal. Particularly turkey hunting , my main passion . I’ve never watched turkey hunting content as realistic and down to earth as yals. It’s real. I spent a lot of my long drives to turkey hunt in other states this season watching yals videos. It pumps me up. I used to listen to Lovett Williams turkey cds as motivation .... but now I have real time videos from yal as the season is unfolding nation wide . Yal are great , keep it up.

[@TheHuntingPublic]

Thanks Daniel. We appreciate the support!

[@Binko63]

One thing I want to comment on and really appreciate that you guys do and that is yes you looked at and used Tethrd saddles for example and it got me to look at their products. But the difference is you’re not zooming in on the logo every video. You did a good review on them and hunted with the owner and you move on. I like the fact that you don’t zoom in on the name brands, keep it about the hunt!

[@mikeschnabel6572]

Love y’all’s show , I have been watching for about two weeks every day 👍🏻👏👏🇺🇸🙏🏻

[@brandonnapier2117]

Greg said the key word earlier. UNIQUE!. THP is definitely unique is almost every way. And I honestly hope you never change.

[@TrainHardLiveFree]

At work we jokingly refer to the TV Shows as UNreality TV, mature deer with a name that walk open fields in daylight never scared of a hunter in the tree. Your content is real and on my level as a public land hunter. Huge fan, Love what y'all do

[@anthonypatton4635]

This is why I watch you guys. 100 percent relatable content!!

[@darrellleggett5908]

I've been watching you guys for 3 yrs. Way better than the outdoor channel

[@Ramzey44]

The hunting public the difference between y’all and big tv shows is y’all are relatable. Those big tv stars and their tactics and strategies and ways of huntin do not pertain to 99% of regular outdoorsman. I can’t go out to my holler in the mountains and try to use their ways of huntin and kill a 200 inch whitetail. Y’all hunt real places and hunt just like normal guys, only difference is y’all have a better understanding of what works and how to locate where deer are. You can hunt as much as you want in a spot that you like, but if there ain’t no deer there, you ain’t goin to kill any deer no matter how hard you hunt. Thanks guys!!

[@johnmcmorris1170]

As long as THP retains your identity and autonomy and stays true to your mission the sponsors will respect that. You guys are featuring the most unique and true to life hunting show anywhere. The reality is that THP is showing the upcoming generation how to have a quality hunting experience in a world where finding a decent place to hunt relegates most people to public ground. That is the new reality for many of today's hunters, especially young people who love to hunt and don't have a family farm or money for a lease. If the sponsors don't see the value of what you are doing they are living in the past. Your business model is the future of hunting shows.

[@stevechristie9557]

Love watching real hunters getting it done on their own!!! Not like these guys going to fenced in preserves with monsters waiting around every corner. You guys remind me of me and my brothers just hitting the woods with a game plan and making it happen. Keep up the great work. This is the only channel I've subscribed to

[@BrotherKyler]

Never change from this and you will only continue to succeed.

[@robertahlholm6412]

you guys have the BEST hunting show bar none- period-- FYI come to central NJ big bucks out here but very hard to find- you could get alot of footage over here, lots of public land.

[@brianhardee6971]

Keep up what you do. It just strikes me as so legit. Which is why I watch.

[@ksoutdoorsports]

That's some good info right there. After signing a contract, being limited on what other products you can show is info not readily available.

[@ExodusOutdoorGear]

Great topic and conversation. 👍🏼

[@Randy_Savage_ohyeah]

Loved the episode guys and really like your philosophy and the content you produce. Had to kind of chuckle when you were talking about the requirements of some sponsors as I used to be a big HUSH fan but can no longer watch them because all they do now is try and shove product down your throat. The one thing I would like to see from you all is more/cooler products (shirts, hats, etc..).

[@skeetermalcolm1655]

You guys are far my favorite,I hope you never change the way you do things,and cat man I do watch also

[@ronmacdougall9612]

I am so glad I finally found your KZbin hunts,keep it going strong,love the videos guys.

[@mytexasseason6036]

I can appreciate you'll point of view. Why let someone change what you love.

[@TheUltraMagaDawg]

Great info. KZbin has really taken over the hunting video scene. TV hunting shows are just about advertising just as y’all said. Watching on KZbin we get to see the good the bad and the ugly. I also appreciate that y’all promote other folks channels as well. Really enjoyed watching catman and the untamed this year. And pinhotti project. Don’t change a thing fellas.

[@bk9351]

I love your plan and thought process and it shows in your content. Best of luck and keep cranking them out.

[@roberthikade9759]

Keep doing what you do! I think we all love it. Great podcast!

[@Tbowie13]

I want to give my humble opinion on this topic. You guys have done great with the way you deal with sponsors. On X is awesome and the way its presented is incredible on your show…it is something I use and won’t be without. That said I have to say my experience with Tethrd was not positive at all. I figured it was a fluke when I sked them if their platforms were in stock and was told yes it would be at your house in ten days or less. Then in twenty days I wrote them and was told tree straps were holding things up, but my box would ship that week...it did not. I wrote the next week and asked hey guys whats going on, I got the impression I was bothering them as I was told we have been shipping all last week and yours will be coming this week as promised. It ended up taking over a month and multiple inquiries before the product got to me which was promised ( literally five minutes before I placed the order) to be in stock and to my house within ten days. I understand things happen but I have seen where multiple people are refering to the same type of thing. Tethrd if you are listening….take a lesson from Dan Infalt, don’t make promises, especially if its just to get someone off your back. It comes across as if you are purposely lying. The fact that you don’t have a phone forces people to read into a text, if you know what I mean. Transparency is a must, if its going to take a month, someone would rather hear that rather than feeling lied to. Trust me its not good for repeat business. All my saddle stuff is Aero Hunter, because they kept their word with me. Sorry for robbing your comment board guys, I’m obviously still a bit more agitated about that than I thought…lol. Honestly I’m hoping Tethrd is a great company and my experience was a fluke or miscommunication. But the fact that I couldn’t talk to someone on the phone made it impossible to know whether it was multiple people there, not communicating, or if I was being jerked around. GET A PHONE, for God sake!

I went with aero to. Just because they had been around so long. I do plan on giving tethered a shot down the line because they are hunters. But this was my first saddle and both companies said 10 weeks to ship, it just came down to experience. Aero had it

[@Tbowie13]

@@swalker9482 hey thanks for the reply. Yes I was told by Aero ten weeks at first. Then I said when my season opener was and Debbie the lady who answered the phone said let me look real quick. She said I will get you one within a month...which they did, to the day they said they would ship. Again, with Tethrd they told me the product was in stock and ready to ship. Then when I wrote back in 20 days, 10 days after the promised day, it was like I was bothering them. Like you'll get it when you get it. Which is fine if that's what the understanding was from the start. But you don't make a promised date and say "in stock" and then when the order is placed five minutes later it's not in stock. Anyhow, I felt like I was being lied to, to sum it up, and I didn't like it at all. They gave me 3 promise dates and didn't make even one of them. Again, I hope it was a fluke and miscommunication in the company, but I have seen other people say very similar things about Tethrd in online forums. If they had a phone, I think it would solve a lot of the confusion. I hope Tethrd does well, but before long there are bound to be more competitors in the saddle game. At that point their customer service will either rise to the occasion, or they will be a "flash in the pan"!

I've was watching hunting TV shows for some time. I steared away from some of the bigger guys because I'm just a normal guy doing a normal average hunt. One of the biggest reasons I love watching you guys is that your just regular good ole boys who love to just hunt. Your not doing shows in Africa or big deals like that. Yoou drive normal cars (some beaters) well so do I lol. I just wanted to say Job Well Done Boys. You guys have a great show.

[@hotwork115k4]

You guys are awesome love the ethical behavior all of you have thanks and keep up the great hunting videos

[@BallisticSamFishing]

Watching your content changed the way I hunt and I’ve been doing it my whole life. The one thing I like most about hunting shows is how easy it is to...shut it down! Like turn it off, grab the bow, jump in the truck and go do it yourself. Tell you the truth. Towards the end of deer season after watching all your videos from the start I just couldn’t keep up. And I didn’t get anything from Turkey season watched. Life is busy and full time adulting is hard lol. This fall I’ll be taking some cameras with me and focusing on the one thing I can do, bow hunt with recurves and last minute stands, and try to get some videos posted for anyone who cares. Keep it up and thanks for being true.

[@coleford738]

it hasn't cost you a dime. your viewers see the absolute integrity you possess

[@XxPackerManxX]

Very refreshing, to see in today's greedy world, you guys are "walking the line". Inspiring, to say the least. Keep it up Boys

[@tomhughes2857]

Great job guys! Excellent treatment of a complicated and controversial subject. I was doing this on a big Georgia plantation back in the 90's with a big, tough chocolate Lab named "Mann" and he showed us how it was done. We were good trackers, but he found deer we'd never have found and we really learned a lot about fatal hits versus non-fatal. Eventually we could tell by the way Mann acted whether or not we would find the deer. If he was trying to pull my arm off on the leash, we'd get him. If he was bored or easy going, the deer was still alive and going. I hope to see dog tracking legal everywhere--it truly means recovery of a lot of deer that would otherwise be lost.

[@brandonhurley2445]

Been watching you guys since the Midwest whitetail days and will continue to watch. Love the content and the way you guys hunt just wished I could get ya to come to the mountains of North Carolina just wanna pic your brain for a little while. Keep up the great work

[@daniel1697855]

This is the best most original idea in the filmed hunting community there has been in a LONG time. My 4 year old daughter loves to watch it with me. She even gets quiet when the deer or turkeys get near so she doesnt "spook" them.

[@TheHuntingPublic]

daniel1697855 haha that’s awesome!

[@daniel1697855]

@@TheHuntingPublic yeah its funny and a good training tool at the same time lol. I'm hoping I'll be able to take her out turkey hunting next year with me in my hub blind and maybe even deer hunting in it this year (if I can get mom on board with that lol) there have been a few times where deer or turkeys have been spooked off in some of your videos by one thing or another and she thinks it was her fault cause it most of the time it tends to happen when she makes a noise. So I started telling her it happened cause she made the noise (been watching you guys for a few years now) works a little better then trying to do it when actually hunting.

[@TheHuntingPublic]

@@daniel1697855 - That's so funny. Tell her we're glad she watches the show and don't mind "if she spooks a deer or turkey"!

[@daniel1697855]

@@TheHuntingPublic telling her you dont mind if she "spooks" the animals would defeat my training purposes and i cant have that lol.

[@edwarddayton8471]

Just keeping it real! I really enjoy your videos for that reason ! Keep it up boys!

[@delculbertson2369]

Being "REAL" is what sells your show and yourselves! Continue keeping it "REAL" and your show will continue to pull in subscribers and ensure your position in the outdoors media scene. When Shane Simpson told me about you guys,I was immediately hooked. Keep up the amazing work. Del "Cubby" Culbertson

[@doubledownoutdoors541]

Well said fellas! It’s a big pond with a lot of fish in it. I was amazed to see the number of guys with cameras lined up asking for sponsors and free product at the ATA show this past year. Keep doing what you do.

[@sweetdarlanddan]

Keeping it real that’s why I love your vids. The whole crew is great real people doin real hunting.

[@gmacey83]

I always get into your videos during bow season. Than i go back and watch all the ones i missed through the year. So I'm sure there's a peak season for video views

[@garrettolrogg3700]

Hey I wanted to thank you guys I used alot of tips you guys give in your videos to shoot my first Turkey in ten years. Thank you and keep up the good work.

[@paulanderson4985]

Amen guys on following your passion. I'm still a bit of a blind squirrel when it comes to hunting...only have pressured MI public land to hunt..occasionally getting a doe. But you are opening my 56 yr old fading eyes. I expect that once I've got most of your tips working, I'll be getting help dragging a deer out instead of helping others. On another note. Hope you can address reporting poachers. I'm pretty sure I ran across a pair. Earlier, and talking with fellow hunters, I'm more certain the two have been moving around in the area. Lost a lot of deer pics within a week.

[@johnl5651]

Awesome job! Im glad you all took the plunge and started your own channel. You bust your asses and it shows.

[@huntervangadventures]

As much as you guys fish and harvest, catch and cook content every week would be awesome!!!!!
