Hoytvtec,

I was thinking of starting a post exactly like yours. You couldn't have said it better. Everytime I try to get my wife onboard and appreciated what I do as a hobby, shes watches one of these shows and it makes her sick. I must say I get pretty sick myself and it is embarrasing that other people who don't know are sport think this is really what we do when we are gone in the woods for 4 days. Others can justify it as $$$ of whatever else, but that's because that's all they know and how they were raised. Most who don't see anything wrong with these shows, don't have a clue how much effort it takes to perform a real hunt. I can see having it for younger kids with short attention spans, but to see these adults whispering and acting like they are really sneaky makes me wish the deer was armed. Train the deer for weeks to a certain location, with the ground blind already in position. Then along these great white hunters come. They take that "long" 200 yard walk from their truck, sit in the blind and BAM! Ya, that's a real man and a mighty hunter for sure. NOT! How do they have the heart to do it on camera and then smile when it's all over like they really put out allot of effort. I could go on for days, but enough said.
