Some real controversy brewing online today, as a video has surfaced which appears to suggest ‘Fear No Evil’ Hunting TV Celebrity Hunter Chris Brackett shot 2 nice bucks in a 1 buck limit state.

We are following this story, and have included the video with this post for your own review.  The video shows the hunt from the blind, and 2 bucks downed.

In addition to the online posts, Hunting page staff has also noticed that sponsors have made announcements that they will no longer be supporting the show.

Grizzly coolers posted earlier today (Tue Nov 14) that they were terminating their relationship with ‘Fear No Evil TV & Personalities”.  The post, listed below stated:  Grizzly Coolers has become aware of the recent alleged violation of hunting laws…”

Post on Grizzly Coolers FB page today.

Poaching is a despicable crime, and we write/report on it often on The Hunting Page.  Poachers rob wildlife enjoyment from all of us, taking more than their fair share.  With violent crime on the mind of most policemen, and fish & wildlife agency staff levels at all-time lows, this is one area of law enforcement that each citizen can become involved in.   As Hunters, we need to self-police.  If you see something suspicious in the outdoors, say something.

Did Chris Brackett shoot over the limit in a 1 buck state?

The online hunting community on FB & digital media seems to think it may be so.  The video on Youtube alleges that Brackett shot 2 Indiana bucks from his blind.

A string of Meme’s has been showing up, as well as the video,

A fan sent this post, apparently a thread between Brackett & the camera man.

 

As if the poaching video wasn’t bad enough, this video shows Bracket in an unfavorable light, and was posted yesterday on FB.  Please be warned, the language is worse than you could imagine.

Caution strong language, glad to see Chris bracket is such a nice guy…

As hunters, we can be proud of the heritage we enjoy, and pass on to the next generation.  We demand ethical hunting of ourselves and our hunting mates.  Of course, TV celebrity hunters must also meet the same standars.

It seems this has come up before, ‘Pro’ TV hunters being exposed for illegal activities.   Now it appears Chris Brackett host of Fear No Evil on the outdoor channel has joined the ranks of the accused.

In this case, the accusation is coupled by some video, and Facebook messenger threads.  The video appears to show Chris shooting two bucks in Indiana within minutes of one another.  Indiana is a one buck state.

The reports, according to articles on other hunting sites, Chris shot a big 8 that the landowner wanted left alone.  A few minutes later a big 10 walks put and Chris shoots it too.

A series of Meme’s has been gaining momentum, with the TV celeb haters calling out the alleged crime:

A rush to judgement? Or a TV Celeb caught on camera?
The court of MEME has been making some quick judgements. Time will tell if they are true.

We can’t be sure what happened here, we will leave this for fish & wildlife staff to report, or Chris to speak out and let us know.  Maybe there is another explanation for all the hub-bub online?
