Default The Outdoor Channel

I've just come to realize I don't have it with my basic WOW Cable subscriber package. WOW wants another $5 or-so every month, to add-it to my service.


That sux! I guess the Jim Shockey Adventure Show will have to wait. Boy-oh'-Boy, has he really aged in the past ten years.
Not sure why my post appears this way. No matter what word I type after the word 'Cable' in my first line/sentence, it jumps to line-2. I tried editing it several times....... Strange!

Not missing much, I get it with my basic package and I haven't watched it for about three years. Shockey isn't bad bit most of it is crap, fist pumping and carrying on after every kill like they really did something, when a 10 year old in the same place with everything planned out and paid for by a sponser and scouted out ready for the hunter could do the same thing

You can find a lot better stuff on YouTube. Some of the self filmed hunts are pretty good.

No kidding as I am an early riser or have trouble sleeping and all I see on the OUTDOOR channel the Pursuit Channel and one other so called outdoor channel are gosh darn Cialis commercials or some Giant ladder Infomercial in the wee hours of the morning when I can't sleep. Heck with spending money on that! And I told Direct TV so.

But if I do watch those Outdoor shows I turn the sound off as I am watching the animal movement anyhow. I don't need to hear the jibber jabber. I like seeing how the animal moves and stops. You can tell when the hunters grunts, etc. That is what helps me the most.

So I am with Semi - cruise YouTube.

Not only youtube but many other sites have free hunting videos. Just word a search on Google "watch free hunting videos online" and you will get a ton of results. Lot of them on Vimeo as well. I watch over 90% of my TV online anymore. Just pay for online and get my TV over the air or on here. Lots of sites out there that have every new or a lot of old tv shows. Just with a lot of those site, make sure you have 1 or 2 good adblockers running.

ABSOLUTELY Semi!!!

I'm so sick of the TV hunts that I rarely watch one any more! I've always thought to myself that these guys are no better hunters than we are but they caught a break by killing a big deer or having connections and now the sponsor $$$ are coming in so they can hunt unpressured properties and have a nice buck lined up for them before they even arrive. I have the utmost respect for the good ol' boys on Youtube that just go out and do it without someone lining their pockets!!

Think you nailed it w/that statement. Once commercial dollars get involved, it's all down hill from there.

I like some of the shows. I think beyond the hunt is decent. What drives me nuts is how these pro hunters think you have to grunt at a 25 yard deer, stop it, its now watching you and then shoot. Like David Hale said once a slow walking deer is the easiest to shoot with a bow cause they are relaxed. If you practice its a piece of cake to hit a deer like that. If a deer is watching me I am frozen watching it through my bow. If he makes me hold too long then he wins.

I primarily still have the channels for the fishing shows, some hunting shows I have found to be good to watch but other than that you can't really stage fishing for cobia, grouper and snapper or jigging for blackfins.
