RE: Commercialism & Bowhunting
Don't watch hunting shows anymore, and never did watch any of the videos. The few shows I did watch seemed to be the same thing over and over. Mostly it was a couple of guys talking about how excited theywere to be hunting on so-and-so's ranch. Then, after 15 minutes of dramatic backgroung music, they show the kill shot. Not a lot to learn from that.
I think that there is some value in advertising. After all, if they didn't advertise stuff we would never find out about a lot of it, and if the companies that make hunting products don't make money at it, they will go out of business. That said, it is obnoxious when a long commercial is presented as a hunting show.
