In this episode of Beyond the Spotlight, we sit down with Smack Em Outdoors, the creators behind one of the fastest-growing hunting channels on YouTube. They open up about the viral hunter harassment video that shocked their audience, the behind-the-scenes story of what really happened, and how they’ve dealt with online backlash and real-life confrontations.
We also dive into how they’ve built a brand around waterfowl hunting, filming outdoor content, and growing a loyal fanbase while staying true to their roots. From going viral to balancing passion and business, this episode is packed with laughs, grit, and insight into the life of modern hunters.
Huge thank you to everyone who supports us, we can't wait to show you what we have coming for the rest of 2025❤️
