Advertisement is what pays to to produce the films. With the high end companies set aside, smaller budget films cannot be produced without the support of advertisers. I happen to know several individuals who produce hunting videos. I also know that these individuals eat breath and sleep hunting and hunt almost exclusively on public land. The recorders get packed over many many miles to acheive the footage that they acheive. Sponsors and advertisement is what puts their videos into circulation as they do not have the capital to support video production. These individuals in which I speak have had many showings on the outdoor channel, and the hunts look just like those produced by larger companies, showing advertisements betweem segments and lots of action. These guys are some of the hardest hunting, most dedicated people I have ever known. Stereotyping has injured many people along their struggles for success in every aspect of life. I am not pointing fingers at anyone here nor am I not trying to start anything. I just wish that everyone including myself would be more careful when it comes to lumping given people into categories. It is no different than grouping all archers into the same category as the ones that shot a ladies dog recently. I do not favor canned or fenced hunts or would I ever suport them, but outside of the obvious videos with the fence in the background, we should not be so quick to judge. These tv shows help drive the interest of hunting and also the industry that promotes strength against those trying to put an end to our heritage. These types of hunts are acheivable to all including public land hunts. These guys, though not idolized by me, have given me the inspiration that I needed to go out and witness the beauties of nature and the excitement of the adventure. Even the guys that I don't endorse, have earned their way into the hunting world, and the spotlight of television. Sponsors and supporters usually won't pick their guy from a group of average hunters to promote their product. They want someone who is going to prove that their product works, one who has shown time and time again, that they have what it takes.
