Here's my idea, (feel free to hire me if you like it okay? )

Reality shows are all the rage right? Well why not make a real reality show for hunters?

You pick a dozen or so "regular guys" who happen to be pretty good hunters. You do a national search for hunters all over the country who
1. have varying skill levels (a beginner or two, an old gaffer, a couple pros, the rest fill in).
2. Can dedicate at least "x" time to hunt.
3. Normally hunt in diverse locations (public, outfitted, private, hunt camp, backyard, wilderness...)
4. Have interesting personalities, weren't hit too many times with the ugly stick, can communicate, etc..

You start the series off with a competition of some sort where you bring together 50 or 100 hunters who all meet the basic criteria. You have a skills competition, interviews, etc.. to pick your dozen. It doesn't have to be totally fair, I mean you're casting a show right? Anyway.

You send your chosen ones home with a videographer to hunt the way they always would, but with their professional videographer tagging along.

We would check on each or some of them every week in a new episode. Have a website (hmmm...HNI?) where you could chat with/about them, offer help, advice, etc so the viewers get involved...

Perhaps add a bit of a challenge where if they meet some sort of goal (shoot a doe maybe?) by a certain date they get to fly out to some camp/ranch/etc. where they all get to hunt "together" for a week. This could also guarantee at least a few episodes with big bucks in case it's a rough year or something.

Think about it from a sponser point of view too. They could get their product shown on TV being used by regular folks (whom we've already screened for appearance, character, personality, etc. )

Maybe you could do teams (me and my buddy Tom for example) instead of or in addition to individuals. Would give even more of that "regular guy" experience, sharing stories, commiserations, etc. rather than the "solo hunter" view you always get from shows today.

Sorry so long, but you asked! I've got a million ideas!
