Favorite YouTube hunting channel

"the hunting public" is good. I like "Average Jack Archery" sometimes he does hunts and has a ton of useful bow information. "Ranch Fairy" is good with tons of useful information from his own experiences and data. Tim Wells always kills random interesting things in so many different ways. Jeff Sturgis At Whitetail Habitat Solutions has some real good info on how to find deer, and has years experience. Jason Sankoviak (?) At Traditional Bowhunting and Wilderness Podcast has good videos.
 
  1. The Hunting Public - great personalities, very informative, authentic videos, and relatable hunting experiences
  2. Catman Outdoors - great guy (@catman529), very informative, authentic, and relatable (especially for me as a Tennessean) -- one of the most underrated channels out there
  3. Seek One Productions - likable guys, monster bucks, cool concept (killing booners in the suburbs of Atlanta), but not the most relatable hunts
  4. Red Arrow - different from the channels above in that it's a more traditional hunting show that glorifies the "kill" and shooting big bucks on farmland, but the guy is so likable that I still enjoy it
  5. Average Jack Archery - excellent archery info with a few hunts mixed in
  6. Nock On - highest quality archery info I've found, with a few hunts mixed in
DIS-honorable Mention:
  • Bowmar Bowhunting - seen this guy take way too many unethical shots for me to respect him and enjoy his show
  • Chris Bee - interesting guy, but similarly has taken too many unethical shots for me to respect him

Except his lack of knowledge on *** to do with a blue crab (nah, im from Maryland, its all we got for "pickin" on other states). Besides that its a great show. Hes got an awesome personality and attitude towards life. And he keeps things interesting. Not just hunting or just fishing.

Ditto on the list

The guy from redarrow is really funny, I don't really learn anything from his hunting because it's just "sit in a nice area on private and shoot something" but I love that he smokes does all the time and small bucks. I watch alot of chris bee's stuff, which shots were unethical? I know Bowmar took like a 120yd shot which is stupid, he tends to make way too many of those imo.

The shot from Chris Bee that stood out in my mind was him and a buddy lobbing in bad shots at deer (maybe mulies?) from something like 80 yards on a steep slope. As I think about it, that might be the only egregious one I saw, but it was enough for me to choose to take my "clicks" elsewhere. Ha
I can forgive someone who takes a bad shot that's sort of a "heat of the moment" thing, but the guys that pause, think to themselves, "yeah, I think I'll throw up a 90-yard prayer because I need to shoot something on camera..."--that's a sure-fire way to lose my respect.

Gotcha. I would have to go back and watch that episode but I have taken 70yd shots on mulies in Montana and alot of my friends have too...but I also trained for a year and was paper plates at 100. So hunting out west sometimes those longer shots are the only way to get them, Joe Rogan 12 ringed an elk at 75yds, it was absolutely insane.

Yeah, I don't necessarily think that long shots are unethical every time by any means--I actually thought Rogan's shot was plenty ethical because conditions were perfect and the bull was completely relaxed and not at all jumpy--but the one of Bee's that I'm talking about (linked here) was pretty freakin' bad. 40 degree angle downhill, 80 yards, shooting at a bedded deer with the wrong body angle, took 4 shots to connect, and eventually spined the deer. To top it off, he and his buddy were yukking it up about the whole thing like there was nothing wrong or regrettable about it at all. In trying to find the link for you, I re-watched that portion of the video and was equally disgusted as the first time I watched. He seems like a decent enough guy, but that was a one-strike-you're-out situation for me.
(Sorry all for side-tracking us from the OP's question!)

Agree longer shots at times are a must but no matter how perfect and relaxed that animal is 1 step or a slight turn can make it a disaster.

1. The Hunting Public - all around great content and the reason I am loving hunting public land and buck bedding now
2. Catman Outdoors. - great videography and variety
3. Hunting Beast - speaks for itself for the educational aspect and his shirts are are a hoot. The second reason I am loving hunting public land and buck bedding now
4. DIY Sportsman - always educational but then again, I’m a fellow engineerd. 1 of the 3 saddle hunters that are the reason I am saddle hunting now
5. Born and Raised Outdoors - elk hunts - I love their brotherhood and there is just something about watching vids with huge bugling elk that keeps me coming back for more
6. Ranch Fairy - great info and the dude is a little crazy
7. Tim Wells - I find his story telling and especially the footnotes to be very amusing
8. Hunt Appalachia - rapid fire Friday is a hoot
9. G2 Outdoors - good DIY content and 1 of 3 saddle hunters that are the reason I’m hunting from a saddle now
10. Mark Dohring - Honest, thorough and unbiased gear reviews and 1 of 3 saddle hunters that are the reason I’m hunting from a saddle now. He also happens to be in the same area as me and now we occasionally meet up to compare gear and shoot 3D.

Dang... I’m watching a lot of youtube!

This has ended up being a great conversation. Some i have seen some i have not. Seekone is great and i love watching those monster bucks coming out of the golf courses and back yards of Atlanta.
 
Not in any specific order, but these are the ones I watch the most:

- The Hunting Public
- Average Jack Archery
- DIY Sportsman
- Catman Outdoors
- Ranch Fairy
- NockOn

I also follow a lot of local ones to me for some flavor and get ideas, as well as some folks on the forum for DIY, techniques and other info.

I discovered his channel recently and have enjoyed his content so far. Only one that you listed that I haven't watched is Tim Wells.
 
I just watched Chris Bee bang 10 out of 10 arrows in a 10 inch square at 100yds. And to be honest he held more like a 5 inch group. Out west is different. And he puts in the work to make those shots.

Also you all need to check out Elk Shape. Especially with training to keep shoulders in good shape specifically for archery. He also focuses on everything archery. From generally getting in shape to shooting form and technique to scouting, Hunting, etc

Another is Brandon McDonald. He’s a cool guy that gives honest reviews on bows and such and also did a really good series on shooting form and a guide to being a better shot. He talks about his success and mistakes with his hunts as well. And other various hunting subjects.
