……all are carrying around in their big backpacks, chest-packs, waist packs, etc. I mean, these packs look like something I would take on a week-long Appalachian Trail hike. How could you possibly need so much junk for an afternoon deer hunt where you’re out for a couple hours?
My theory…..tv and internet marketing has convinced them all you need $10,000 worth of gadgets to kill a deer, and that if you’re not decked out like you’re going to war, you’re an amateur. Haha! 🤣

got to have all the latest gadgets
My guess
The Sponsors or looking for them or more of them
By Using their product in a youtube video = a lot more money and free goods
YouTube has made many millionaires or at least allow countless people to quit ther job and enjoy being their own boss. They started with a dream, an empty pot and good public skills to get viewers
I am happy for them and, of course jealous of them
Gotta have that $4k rifle and $2k scope combo to snipe a suitcase deer at 250. It's a lot like fishing tackle in that most of the stuff is designed to catch fishermen, not fish.
Nailed it
My first deer was taken with an $85.00 rifle. I was wearing work boots ,Levi Jean jacket and blue jeans . Many of my deer have been taken in similar attire.
I can understand you dressed like that but why the deer? Don
LOL
Trying to blend in and not get shot, I'd reckon…
In before the shot my biggest buck in my pyjamas. Post.
How that deer got in my pyjamas I'll never know!
One in every crowd
I don't watch U tube, easy solution to the need more gear problem.
I cannot stand the "Whisper Channel".
These guys will spend big bucks on a lightweight rifle with carbon fiber stock and titanium rings to shave a pound off their rifle and carry a tripod shooting stand.
I never could understand why the big backpacks. I usually wear a fanny pack when I'm hunting. It has everything I might need in it.
I like Ron White tell how he deer hunt. I'd put the youtube link but it has words.
