Turner “Tfue” Tenney used to be a star on Twitch and was considered an aim god. Now he caused horror when he hunted wild boars live on stream – and did anything but look good.
Who is the person you are talking about? Once a big name on Twitch, Turner “Tfue” Tenney became huge in 2018 with the hype surrounding Fortnite. The following year, he rose to become the streaming platform’s most-watched content creator and was considered the best Fortnite player in the world.
In June 2023, Tfue announced in an emotional video that he wanted to withdraw from the content world. But in the fall, the now 26-year-old celebrated his big return – on the controversial rival platform Kick.
There, Tfue has now attracted attention with a stream in which he hunts wild boars live. Many viewers are shocked and say that the streamer is letting the animals suffer unnecessarily.
Tfue was once known for being really good at Fortnite.

Former Twitch star hunts wild boars from a moving car
What kind of stream was that? On May 28, Tfue went wild boar hunting in the Everglades. He broadcast the whole thing live on Kick. Some of the footage spread rapidly on social media, but many users were shocked by the way the animals were treated.
Clips show Tfue chasing and wounding a wild boar from a moving car. The animal whimpers in pain and tries to escape before the streamer catches up with it and eventually kills it.
Streamer believes he is doing residents a favor
Tfue believes he is in the right. On X, he explained that wild boars are considered invasive in Florida and cause a lot of damage, such as digging up the soil, damaging crops, disrupting the local ecosystem and spreading disease.
However, viewers criticize the streamer’s actions. The weapon is unsuitable, he uses the wrong caliber and probably doesn’t hit the wild boars properly. This causes the animals unnecessary suffering.
R6 pro LaXing wrote on X that as someone who hunts himself and comes from a family of hunters, this makes him sick – regardless of whether the animal is invasive. Tfue lets the animal suffer by shooting it multiple times until it is finally dead. Streaming it is “wild”.
Viewers are horrified
The videos are even spreading in German-speaking countries. While Tfue has received at least some support from US viewers, as the animals are considered invasive and harmful there, the negative reactions far outweigh the negative ones in this country.
Influencer commentator Bilal_2k shared Tfue’s clip on May 29 and received nearly 700 comments, most of which expressed shock. The consensus: This is not hunting, but simply animal cruelty.
The clip also spread in the German-language subreddit r/Laesterschwestern. Here, a user writes that he is a hunter himself and that such behavior is prohibited in Germany – in the clip you can see why.
The videos are easy to find on X and reddit, but we have deliberately decided not to link to them here and recommend that you only watch the clip if you can bear the sight of animals suffering.
Viewers who knew Tfue from his Fortnite glory days are likely to be disappointed to see the streamer like this now. Bilal_2k writes, for example: “Why does every influencer have to develop so negatively when things aren’t going so well anymore?”
