Hunting is like any trade out there. You learn by listening, but you have to be willing to teach those who do want to learn.

@rwilson208 2 года назад

I just saw this video. I agree with everything that you said. I have been an NRA member for many years. I have watched the outdoor channel and the sportsman channel. I like the down-to-earth country talking good ole boys the best. That is just my opinion. I have not hunted nor fished in many years. I started buying guns because I felt like one day I would no longer be allowed to. I am not interested in killing the biggest of anything. I would be glad to if the situation came available, but I would love to be able to hunt to eat the food that the good Lord put on this earth for us to eat. I love to fish for the food to put on my table for my family. I have watched you guys for 16 years and I love watching you. I enjoy watching several different families on this channel. Keep doing what you guys do and keep being REAL. We are intelligent viewers and we can spot folks who are in it for the wrong reason. I enjoy your shows, please do not ever change.

@brunswickmowersupply4789 Год назад

I would like to say. That as a Georgia hunter. It’s not about the hunting industry. It’s all about. I spend a lot of money every year to hunt with the other people in our hunting club that want to really enjoy the close relationship of what our little club has found. I can stay at home and kill deer every night in my back yard. And I only have a 5 acre piece. But to me it’s not the harvest or the kill. It’s finding what truly hunting is all about. The friends and hanging out at camp. And the groceries and refreshments ain’t too bad either. Keep up the great work and the real serious hope you give us. What I believe you stand for. Thank you for standing up for the real folks. 👍

This video is another one of the reasons Michael Waddell is one of my all time favorite hunters you can tell he truly loves it

@williammoeglin6191 2 года назад

Tell it like it is, Michael! This video has been out there for a while, but it is just as pertinent today as when this video was made. I have hunted all my life and will do so until I no longer can. But he is right; follow the rules, do the right thing, enjoy our great outdoors and have as much fun as you can and every trip will be a success. The kill is great, no doubt. But when you get that chance to sit in a deer stand or a ground blind and it first starts getting light and you can watch the world come alive and all those colors paint the sky - - - - it just makes you feel alive! Enjoy it while you can.

@TheBptang 6 лет назад

Great rant Michael! Hunting for me has been precious time in the woods with my father and brothers, and now with my sons. Thank you!

@beasteboy3 3 года назад

You are exactly right sir! Thank you for this. One of the best hunters I ever met was a man out in Cordesville, SC hunting public land turkeys this spring. I didn't know the area and he showed me the way in. We walked about a half mile together and he showed me his call that was made from a jagged piece of floor tile and an old wood "striker" (craziest thing I've ever seen). I will always be grateful to that man for showing me some kindness and restoring my faith in the hunting community when we see all these people who want to not help others and lead them the wrong way for their own benefit.

I've always wanted to meet you .... Now more so that ever . Thank you for thinking of us that literally work 60hrs a week . I only slept a few hrs a night for 2 months during the last season and it paid off with a beautiful 9 pt . I love your show . I respect you all even more after seeing this . I pray to the good lord we cross paths one day . 🙏 God bless you all.

Michael very well said,as a retired deputy game warden that has met you at the harrisburg show i am very proud of you Michael its about time some one says the truth about the outdoors and the hunters.

@usnationalist8150 2 года назад

You are an ex Pa game commission? The board directors in PA are some of the most corrupt incompetent trash out of any state. For about 15 years they let my unit be an unlimited tag area and it got hit hard, not counting that disease that happened twice. Telling you they are getting money from car insurance companies to reduce the population. Unlimited doe tags, introduced coyotes in this area which the population exploded...nobody traps anymore because fur isn’t worth the bait and gas. Our Turkey population has decreased 75% in the past 7 years...what do the game commission do? Allow hunters to purchase a 2nd tag. Mark my words there won’t be any Turkey hunting in Pa (Atleast in my unit) within 15 years. Areas I use to see hundreds of Turkey 10 years ago I now only see half a dozen at most. I can’t stand game commission, “let’s fine some little kid because he doesn’t have 250 square inches of orange on”. They are like state cops....when they stop they look for every little violation, like fuzzy dice on your mirror.

@rodneyhanbaum697 6 лет назад

Outstanding! I'm 62 years old and couldn't have said it better myself! I've followed you since you started in this industry, and like you, Chuck Adams , Noel Feather, The Wetzels, Fitzgerald's, and a host of others inspired me along with my Daddy, and Pap paw...I am one of those regular guys, getting a little long in the tooth now , but my Passion is as strong as yours. Thank you Michael for this video and a very HEARTFELT statement! I have been and definitely will be a BONE COLLECTOR FOR LIFE, GOD BLESS YOU, YOUR FAMILY, and staff...

Too late the outdoor channel has ruined the hunting show experience . I remember buying the realtree monster bucks dvd and inviting friends over to watch it. I love the original realtree cast but I’m done with outdoor channel. There are some great vids on RU-vid passionate hunters with no product to sell.

@vlacula 6 лет назад

My Outdoor channel lasted just 2 months until I found what you said on RU-vid. I saved the suscription money for buying more arrows...

@Tyler-wp3ns 5 лет назад

Totally agree. The majority of hunting and fishing shows on tv are little more than 30 minute infomercials.

@jimkautz2243 3 года назад

Michael Waddell, please thank you mother and father for me. they raised a authentic , real American. Your rant is spot on brother. I have been saying this for years. That coin hits both sides of the fence. We have idiots running down other hunters because they follow the game laws, and shoot that small but legal buck. Stop the hate, celebrate the hunt, even if you would not shoot that young buck, good for you. Semper Fi , God bless. Michael Waddell is good people.

@ChenagoOutdoors 4 года назад

I'm glad you said it and your right not all people in it are bad. However the damage has been done. I've seen guys say they need to shoot 130inch 8pts in upstate ny as there first deer. When you ask it's because the "pros" do it and they leave the hunting world because 100inch is big on public land in that area and they give up because they have a hard time finding those. I grew up watching monster buck videos and wishing one day I could do it. To now if you don't own 500acres or make 200k a year to make it out of state trips your less a hunter. The biggest threat to hunters are hunters ourselves. Your one of the few I watch along with t-bone.

@calebchrista2932 6 лет назад

You speak about getting the opportunity to shake the hands of the people who support you. It reminds me of the time when i first met you. I grew up watching you on the Realtree vhs tapes and i didnt turkey hunt but you were in north alabama at a turkey calling competition and i wanted to go just to see you on the stage and you took the time to sit down and talk to an 9 year old kid and sign a realtree license plate for me and too this day i still have that plate. You are one of the few genuine hunters left that we have in the industry.

@tracyhumphries3545 2 года назад

I've had the opportunity to watch Michael since he started with real tree. I've loved his sincerity and honest to God love for the outdoors. I've never met him but pray I get the chance one day. But for now I say Thank you Michael for all you do to help grow the love of the outdoors.

@cryptidoutlaw8707 4 года назад

I met Michael Waddell many years ago at deerassic classic in Cambridge oh , won't say how many years so not to give away how old we really are Michael lol, and by far he was the most humble and down to earth hunting celebrity I met that day. I have no interest in going to those events anymore due to what the hunting industry pushing that everyone should be hunting for only giant bucks, not to mention the unreal price of the products being pushed. I am glad to see one of rhe guys I look up to in this industry finally stand up and say what needed to be said. Thank u.

@mikecobello7245 3 года назад

I am one of those guys your talking about. Hard to afford it, hard for time, always struggling to have a place to hunt. I love it. This year..2018 I was tickled to death to get a 4 year old 123 class 9 pointer with a broken g3 and g4. Michael...you David and Bill...were some of my biggest inspirations. As much respect as I thought I had for you...I now have much much more. This vid should be viral in ever Hunting/Fishing/Outdoor circles.

These are who I grew up and was taught how to shoot. hunt& respect our sport. Thanks Mike it's about time someone stood up and tell it like it is. To many pretty boys on you tube.

@charliewilliams5107 Год назад

I appreciate the honesty in recognizing the roots of the sport and not all who participate are wealthy and do good just to get out and hunt on weekends. I am glad to see that you are keeping it real. Thanks Michael

@jamessimmons2773 6 лет назад

I have to admit, I stopped watching you years ago, and it was for a certain reason that I will not add on this comment. After watching this video though, you have reclaimed this viewer. I used to be one of those hunters in Talbot County, GA on a Mead lease praying to see a squirrel and not worrying about wind direction and such. This video hits the nail on the head in so many ways. Thank you for doing all that you do to preserve this right that we love. Hopefully, one day I will get to meet you and shake your hand.

@keithhardee3839 5 лет назад

Thank you !! Killing a deer use to be measured by the hunt itself now it's measured in its score.I'm so fed up with this trophy crap.if i take the notion to shoot a small buck with my now or gun that's my dang business.Now days ol he would've been a good one in a few years....he's good one now to me.

@ChristopherKBowen 2 года назад

I am from Georgia, me and my brother only get to hunt on weekends, we work during the week. Michael you are correct man alot of people are blind sided but what they hear and then they want to judge. I watch youtube but Facebook I can't stand it .all it is where people all up in your business all the time . You'll keep up the good work at bone collectors

@randyfarley8937 4 года назад

The closest I will be to see a big Buck is on TV, I live were the deer are few and far between.we have more bear and hogs than we do deer. But they are coming back around slowly.I can't afford to lease land in other states.and here were I live you will eat alot of tag sandwich.and if anyone in the family happened to kill one you be lucky to get a taste of it.
