I've never watched the "hunting shows". Never understood the appeal. For tactics/techniques, I prefer to talk to older/more experienced hunters from my part of the country, and to experiment on my own. The only thing I've ever watched was a video by Tree Lounge, and it was a long time ago. The only thing I remember was that there was a woman who "squealed" every time she made a kill...I kinda wanted to punch her by the end of the tape.
