RE: What we really hate about hunting shows
If they really wanted to show some things that would be informational, rather than promotional, they'd go into the hunt more. Example, my stand is 22 feet off the ground to the platform. I'm hunting this trail because, yada yada yada.....here's a speck of blood, here's another etc etc. Don't have the dang camera the other side of the deer zooming in on you as you look up surprised and say, "There he is". GIVE ME A BREAK!!! Go ahead, field dress the dang thing and show a kid what's going to have to be done. If you can't do it on TV, at least do it on the videos you sell in the stores. Why NOT!!!!
Speaking of videos, I broke down and bought another the other day. I gave away about 125 of them a while back and said I wouldn't buy any more. Well, I bought this one "Whitetail Country". What a piece of crap. It was 2 hours of all the "BIG NAMES" in hunting shows telling how great each other is. Hardly any hunting to the thing. It was totally, "LOOK AT US. YOU SHOULD BE IMPRESSED". It is the worst video I've ever seen. BULL HOCKEY.
