Default RE: What we really hate about hunting shows

I have seen this many times....particularly out in the west where open country prevails. The hunter is using the "stalking" method, the guide is right there with him,and the unseen one is the cameraperson. The threeare "stalking" the prey, yet they are out in the open not attempting to use any cover to their advantage, walking completely erect and talking in a normal manner.....maybe an occasional loud whisper. Then.....WOW! There he is crossing before them down the hill so the hunter whips out his shooting sticks and makes a lot of noise getting in position to take that shot. The animal stops broadside and the shooter waits and waits and waits and finally nails the wary prey with a great shot that amazes the crusty old guide.
Yup..... you've seen 'em too and they'll continue as long as we keep buying the camo and the beer and the bows and guns and the insurance.....all the stuff advertised on the show. I love it.
