This is all my stuff. I've since made friends with Clark and did both a trapping run and red deer hunt with him earlier in the year but he hasn't contributed anything to this directly
I'm open to criticism and feedback. I've bloody copped it over using a thermal in my recent video to spot a heat signature and sneak in on it - I get the fair chase argument, but didn't try to hide the thermal or pass it off liek I'd shot it 100% legit without using the thermal and have been paid out anyway...
Criticism is easier to take take when it's packaged nicely, but it can be just as effective when it's blunt and you don't let your ego get in the way
If that was the discussion on FB and the old Hilldog, you have to see his point as well.
With the Woke/Greens govts pushing the pest deer thing, likely to take our guns.
Also, the new gen hunters not wanting to go through the full deer hunting journey like you and I did, prefer to pull their thermals quicker than cowboys drew their Colts, shoot the trophy stag, post, and get the likes for whatever reason.
The way some will now cull a deer under lights, then post morning photos like they went deer hunting just astounds me.
Does the truth mean nothing now-days.
Hilldog has lived and breathed deer hunting, and is seeing the decent stags disappear.
If they all get shot young, there won't be many old ones.
Hillier is obviously not great with his people skills, and has some attitude.
He gets banned from all the forums, and not just those smaller local Vic ones that died off the other year, he is the only one that I know of to be banned from the big hunting forum.
I guess, the more a bushmen one becomes, the less of a people person they get.
I seem to be going that way, or just my tolerance to being told BS.
I seem to get on with Hilldog, NFI why and we are not that similar in many ways.
I watch that funny hunting club bloke making a business out of his hunting, and noticed they all pull their thermals quicker than a teenage boy pulls his __.
I tried a hand held to see what it was all about, but I couldn't walk around the bush with it stuck to my face.
I don't even touch my binos on lots of stalking hunts, just me I guess, and it's all legal now.
I have nothing against a newb shooting a young stag, as that's the stage he is at.
He is likely to only shoot an upgrade next.
I don't like seeing those photos of a line of Fallow heads, it has to be more like pest shooting, compared to hunting a forest buck. If the farmer wants them controlled, why shoot the bucks?
