RE: Hunting shows are unrealistic
The Eastman's Hunting Journal show is a great show. They hunt HARD on public land (mostly) and do it themselves. You could learn a lot from these guys if you paid attention. I also like Jim Shockey's shows as they are different.
There are only so many times I can watch some lard ass (or in Ted Nugent's case nutcase) on a fourwheeler putt putt over to a stree stand, and stick some poor deer living behind a high fence that has been eating corn out of a feeder all summer long.
I would prefer to see some shows where they actually teach guys how to do things. You know, go over hunting gear (not just the lastest gadget), but real stuff like how to set up a tent so it won't get blown over. Sleeping bags, etc.
Show guys how to stalk a deer out west, read a map, etc.
Of course then the big sponsors would drop out and we would have much fewer shows.
