I agree... I am really losing my patience with some of those hunting shows. [:'(] I actually got so ticked off, I recorded one of them, then carefully went back and reviewed it. The results will blow your mind!

Show talks of deer and how hard can be to successfully hunt one (you're filming at a game ranch you idiot! [:@])
Talk about scouting and patterning deer (again your filming at a game ranch - everything was done for you! [:@])
Wispering.... more wispering.... a buck comes into view.

Show comes back on with the "hunter" aiming his TC Encore while the guide and cameraman wait patiently.
Pause.
Pause.
{take the shot already! Geez.... }
The shows' "hunter" takes the shot, the deer limps off, the hunter and guide high five each other.

Show comes back on with a replay of the deer and the shot. Then they show the "hunter" coming up to his downed deer, but yet the cameraman is on the opposite side.
"Hunter" shakes hands with guide, crew, anyone who's on the set....
Show ends with ending credits and list of sponsors and the outfitters name/website/phone number/etc...

Geez.... A 30 minute hunting show. When you sum this all up (like I actually did) you get roughly 8 minutes of actual hunting. All the rest is mindless commercials and sponsor ads and junk.
