Default Hunting shows are unrealistic

It seems to me that most, if not all, of the hunting shows are unrealistic. As the statistics show, a good unit has a success rate of about 10-14 percent, for elk that is. Which means that over 80 percent of the hunters go home unsuccessful. The hunting shows make it seem like everyone gets an animal. Of course Zumbo and such are all hunting private ground, with guides, and a motivated host! After all, no kill translates to no show, which will not generate any advertisment for the the ranch. That is really all fine with me, but the truth is, the vast majority of us will never do a hunt like that. My question to this forum is: Should the hunting shows try to be a bit more real/honest about elk hunting, the type of hunting that the show watchers really get to do?
