Default RE: Do you people think the hunting shows really represent us average hunter?

It's funny that this topic has come up. My buddy and I are working as we speak on a TV program directed to the average joe hunter. We are going to films hunts on PUBLIC LAND and Leased Land focusing on everything fromour costs, where we stayed, the animals we see and harvest, to the equipment that we use, not given to us to promote. 80% of the people who watch the Outdoor Channel and all the hunts done with guides and outfitters can not afford to fork out $3000-15,000 just forthe deer alone, not counting the costs associated with travel, getting the game home, etc. So we want to film hunts that the average person can do each year for as little as $1000... Ironically, the name of our show as of right now is "Joe Hunter".. We will film some this year, but look to have everything a done deal and 100% in 08'. There are a lot of good places in the US that are public land that you can go to and have a pretty good hunt. Will every buck score 140", of course not, but if we are constituting a good hunt based on the amount of inches a deer has on his head, then somethings wrong... Sure we all want the next record book buck, but that shouldn't be the spinal cord of why we hunt...
