Overview
- Jones told ALF Global in a July 28–29, 2026 interview that footage of a 2021 hunt — in which he says pigs were shot from a helicopter with AR-15s — led Hamilton to send a long direct message calling him a "coward".
- Jones said Hamilton then unfollowed and blocked him on social media, a claim repeated by multiple sports outlets that reported on Jones's retelling without a public response from Hamilton.
- Jones reiterated that the pig he shot was donated to an underprivileged family and offered a fresh apology for the footage and the offense it caused.
- The renewed coverage highlights a clash between Jones's hunting and firearms content and Hamilton's vegan, animal-welfare stance, which objected to the hunting method rather than hunting itself.
- The story moves an old social-media dispute back into the news cycle as outlets amplify Jones's interview and readers watch for any independent confirmation or comment from Hamilton.
