Role Model: Female Huntress

Remember this: You want bees-use honey. You want blowflies-use dead wild game carcass.

I told myself I would never do this again. I have been reading the Miley Cyrus rants and reviewing the current and on-going female representation in hunting via social media’s ether, by labeling certain females as role models of hunting.

I was disappointed. Was there a light somewhere in the smog of hunting that shows one female had finally diverted from the it’s all about me, hate the anti’s, and how dare you fellow hunter question me and my antics?

I removed my glasses and massaged my temples before humorously setting about finding this person. I was a little astounded by what I found-because of the one.

My thinking was: if I peruse the role model females’ pages in the mildest sense of research-there should not be a problem. That is what a role model is for-a template for someone not accustomed to what something should be to help them mimic it.

I saw the insulting quote post about looking at a page one too many times. If you wanted celebrity, then you shouldn’t have a problem having people look at it 100 times. What is up with the baiting posts?

Is that not what you wanted? Is it to the point, the page holder feels confident in mistreating anyone cruising through because the page itself represents a target for some? The page has a bait post to drag someone in for confrontation-so it is set up to catch sensitive types that have to post with knee jerk reactions.

I think of addiction-the addict gets use to a certain drug or liquor, and hits the poison of choice everyday not realizing the damage it is doing to their brain, body, and soul. Everyone around this poor soul is saying to them, this is detrimental to you-why don’t you stop? You watch them tip the bottle back, or crack open their chemistry set of narcotics to issue a dose-then off to lala-land they go; dead to the world and your warnings.

Right now, there are certain female hunting role models that do not realize the damage they are doing to themselves and anyone looking up to them. They rebuke intelligent recourse, and some of those interactions are probably negative which makes them ear-blind.

They are in a blind but they’re blind.

This is not about how the female hunting role model goes out and does her physical hunting, or her mentality when participating. It is about the behavior of a human being that disregards fellow hunters’ observations on their behavior and how it is detrimental to what they are trying to achieve. The garbled message people are comprehending and following in behind is lost to the four winds.

I had to stop looking at all this hunting squalor because it makes me feel like I am watching bad chintz wallpaper peel. It is boring too, because the articles are all the same.

If I want reality, I’ll mosey on over to Meateater. I can live with Steve and his wormy attitude.

I looked up four female hunters that are considered to some extent female role models. I went by their Facebook pages, ergo some of them had twitter accounts with the same information but varying followers.

Huntress No. 1

% Self-promotion

% Out-sourced advertising

% Politics and Political Views

% Inflammatory-Insulting posts geared toward groups not supportive     of hunting

% arguments with fellow hunters

Huntress No. 2

% Animal Rights Activist-Hunter Shenanigans

% Epic, My Life is so much more epic than yours posts

% Out-sourced posts from random pages not self-generated

% Nothing about the actual person except photos

% Inflammatory-insulting posts geared toward groups not supportive     of hunting

Huntress No. 3 (she’s been trying to get famous since she had her                   moles removed off her face)

% Self-promotion

% Inflammatory-insulting posts geared toward groups not supportive     of hunting

% allows multiple attacks on fellow hunters if they are foreign       female hunters

Huntress No. 4

% Self-promotion

% inflammatory-insulting posts geared toward groups not supportive     of hunting

% Promoting hunting for women, children, and education

*Finally learned the power of good Public Relations and filtering the crap from the cream. Guess who this No. 4 is?

I wonder. Why it is important to entertain a conversation when it is based around negative rhetoric?

I won’t lie. Some of these women make me want to gag-gagging the rainbow.

I see posts saying, “Do your research, learn about wildlife conservation…”, but you do not see the research being displayed on these women’s pages.

You want that information; you have to read Ecology, National Wildlife, Wildlife Conservation Magazine, State wildlife Magazines, or Ranger Rick.

I digress; I don’t have to bash any of these females. That door was opened by them the moment they took to social media, and the world started throwing punches and shooting fire arrows at them.

No. 4 was Melissa Bachman. I perused her Facebook page and actually like it, when before I didn’t. It is more professional and the negativity has been drained from it. It was good to see at least one problemed female taking her public relations and image seriously, while putting the focal point on her abilities, performance and outreach instead of being the visual victim of attacks with pomp and circumstance through self-generated altercations.

Some hunters want to articulate to these top-notch celebrity figures that the behavior and the actions are causing the problem-but fear being excluded and branded a hunting heretic.

Does anyone remember the election? I didn't get the memo to vote, did you?

I would not have voted any of these people as role models, celebrities, or even representatives of the Hunting sport. It is shameful to say the least, and that is the women-some of the men are just as bad.

If you want to do Hunting a favor, hunters need to stand up to this kind of behavior. Hunters need to let these hunters,voted by unknown sources as the representation of the hunting sport, be informed by the masses that what is being publicly advertised and displayed as examples of hunting participants is not consistently true of the vast number of diverse hunters. It is direly erroneous.  

It is a misrepresentation of the diversity and quality of hunters everywhere.

I want to know when this crap is going to stop being a thing.

The Crystal Ball of Hunting.

Remember this: It doesn't take a psychic to predict the occurance of a bad event, if every decision with cause and effect is driving a narrative to a tragic end....for someone. It will eventually happen.

I was watching Jim Shockey's Uncharted a couple of nights ago on the Sportsman's Channel. There was this little umble dude about to fall off a log and the natives caught him. He put his face in the camera and spoke. He reminded me of Gru with hair. I heard someone call him Corey then I thought...wait a minute. I think that is the guy from  the Black Rhino debacle. I finished watching the show and wanted to update myself by reading up on Corey Knowlton's endeavors to see what end it came to.

Most of the articles were stating his family's lives were in danger, the FBI got involved, he had security detail, animal activists where threatening his life and Anonymous got involved; or at least someone claimed to be Anonymous.

I looked at Knowlton and couldn't make my mind up over the fact that he looked sickly or stressed to death.

I then see this 19 year old cheerleader that has been in the news for lion hunting imagery circa Bachman.  Some of the things being said here is the fact this person is excited over all the attention she is getting; good or bad. Of course, my first thoughts were that this had FBI written all over it. She truly is nothing more than bait.

No one really is looking at her accomplishments. This should have been relegated to her peers. She is now hashtagged the Happy Huntress, murderess, and a slew of other words. Her narrative right now is not an ambassador for hunting or conservation. Just a twat with a gun killing exotic animals; regardless of her age. Of course that is not my opinion because its futile with this subject matter  but the people at large in the world.

The only reason I am  writing this is a marker for myself. I want to see how much time will pass before the hunting and anti-hunting machine ends the life of a person.  This could be through murder, suicide, happenstance, or whatever. This is not what I lay awake at night thinking about but somewhere it does bother me that it doesn't seem to bother anyone else. I guess if you play in traffic expect to get hit by the bus. I do go about my life and forget these thoughts until I see articles and disputes posted to the net.

The concern I have is this:

How do parents or the individual prostrate themselves or their children out publically to a world that has already exhibited an underlining murderous contempt for hunters? Simultaneously hunters have thrown  gas on the fire of internet conversations, to invite something so negative into OUR world, in the name of hunting or conservation, which doesn't seem so positive anymore based on participants behavior.

I have no idea which way this situation will go. All I see is a group of people or an individual egged on by a group of people in hunting, while putting a target on themselves.

One bright day, an extremist person who is against the idea of hunting is going to decide to make a  clear statement. This statement will be: one or more persons' losing life, limb, or being scarred for the rest of their life. Conditions over this topic are revolving. Its an  escalating situation with lows and very big highs. Anything with this tendency will eventually peak or spill over. 

Disturbed people kill for non-sensical reasons all the time en masse such as James Holmes, Elliot Rodgers, and the Columbine shootings. In the case of hunting, its pretty square the possible reasons an extremist will flip his or her lid. There doesn't seem to be any kind of damage control to hinder the progression of this kind of fall-out by death. If they are far enough away a gun will not help you.

Also the narrative of this young girl's life will be altered. The possibility the narrative will go in a negative direction to come back to bite her later in life is there. All this attention seems great  right now but the downside comes quickly. When you can't even go out in broad daylight of your own freewill because  you never really truly know if the people stalking you have gone away, is a lot for a young person to deal with.

The narrative I see is hunters re-enforcing liberty, freedom, and the right to hunt yet these online personalities are damning themselves to a form of self-incarceration. I have been confused for sometimes on the true reason for this. Hunting, conservation or celebrity? Now because of the pointless conversations in hunting, conservation is under fire.

Hunting participants as a whole are being chucked in with the bad behavior of online personalities that make way more money than the average man. I can not grasp the concept that in order to push conservation and hunting the best we can do as sportsmen and sportswomen is to use the most negative platform and podium to speak from. The other problem is it is not the voice of a hunting collective but a hypish frontperson that is stumbling over his words like Barney Phife whilst shooting us all in the foot, behind and the face for good measure. If you really want to do yourself a favor as a person who hunts, stop kissing Gluteus maximus just to be in the hunting cliche. (No, that is not a Roman  Emperor).

I feel like there are established groups in the hunting echelon that think they are driving the narratives to protect and improve hunting when it is damaging hunting left and right. These groups that we can't see could not give two shits about the rest of the hunters because they want their agenda pushed. Their agenda is going to be the undoing of hunting and chokehold conservation,  if it goes unchecked. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see this is a fear driven machine.

I feel truly empathetic towards this young girl because she is a tool in a game. She is just being used for some end that is temporary but the effects will loom over her for a lifetime. I hope she is at least getting a fat paycheck. If she is going to sell her soul young, she might as well be able to pay for a bodyguard.

Mark my words. Eventually someone, somewhere will lose their life or wish they had. Everybody involved will be asking themselves for what end or purpose did it ever serve.

Finally the only conclusion I can come to is an empty pointlessness. Someone is using a young female to anchor a dispute when there are better ways to argue the concept. This is nothing more than kindergarten school yard fighting, where kids hit each other in the back then run away; rinse and repeat.  There is always that kid held as a shield to block the onslaught of blows. Kendall Jones just hasn't felt the full brunt of it yet. Ergo we could ask ourselves, why do grown adults act like children? For rhyme or reason, humans do things all the time that don't make sense.

Hunting is there for everyone; not just for a group with a political agenda.

I think I shall go vomit now.
