Reading this thread makes me realize I don't know which shows I really like.

It's so hit and miss.

I despise the all ad-spot shows where every other word out of their mouth is a product they're hawking.

You can also tell the game farms, ranches, outfitters, etc. are starting to back off giving them the run of the place. I know last year there were tons of shows with people shooting "cull" deer. Deer that were either past their prime, or had some other issue. Well, obviously the guy stocking and tending the herd said....you ain't paying, you ain't shooting the crop that some other bugger would pay top dollar for.

I guess in the past, I liked team Fitzgerald, but recently...it's 'bout average. Beyond that... I don't pay close enough attention to who's who. I look at the scenery, and all-too-often find myself studying the editing, ie... why is it lighter when the guy finds the deer than when he shot it?

Oh...and you're right about never calling "bad" shots. I've seen enough where I immediately said "gut shot" but they seem to retrieve it quickly without effort.....ya right.
