HBCers have Instagram??

My IG is sdana9494. By far way more hunting and outdoor content on IG than on most hunting forums.

I joined IG in December and have seen more quality hunting and fishing content than in all the years of forums from 2004 to now combined!

Lots of bc hunters on there that no longer post to this forum as well.

I don't hashtag shit, but it's a good free place to store pics and vids. Some real good outdoor content posted up by many for sure. Private account for me. Huntin fishin and fallin.

. I was hoping for a little anonymity but might need to switch to private mode as some here have suggested.

What’s an Instagram ?

Ive heard of Stripagram !

dodge456ca is mine. Mostly work pics ( I'm a machinist ) with some hunting and shooting pics and the obligatory food shots here and there for good measure. I use instagram differently than facebook as its a broader audience, I don't put a lot of personal or family photos on there as I use Facebook for that and find it redundant to put the same pics on both medias also.

The reason I enjoy HBC more than any other platform is the hunting stories. They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but I think they are wrong. When I read a good hunting write-up I really feel the excitement of the hunt. For whatever reason pics alone (which is more often the case on FB and IG) don't really do it.

The traditional forum layout (sections / threading) is another huge part for me. I guess I am more of a reader.

Typical FB post: "Shot this" (picture of bear) - couple hundred likes, buried in a few hours

HBC Post: "it all start out one rainy night... we arrived to our camp 3 hours before first light...(1000 words)" (picture) - bunch of follow up chatter

Come to think of it, even stories of unsuccessful hunts are awesome and happen all the time.

I haven't been on IG long enough to say, but FB just doesn't seem to have much attention span or thoughtful discussion.

Does anyone think this too? Or maybe I'm just a little crazy (it could be both!)

I agree...

I like the stories too but there's honestly just not enough of them.... how many people posted quality stories this fall? Maybe like 5-6?

Don't get me wrong.... the ones that did post were for the most part awesome. But not that many!

I enjoyed Chris.pryns first backcountry buck. Kopper posted an awesome goat hunt. And the Indian river elk was fricken awesome.

I'm sure there were others but those 3 come to mind right away.
