RE: TV
Personally, I would rather watch 30 minutes of describing the local area, scouting, prep, planning, and what was actually seen during an archery hunt without a kill,assuming that you at least show some footage of some wildlife.
I think some producers get so caught up in the typical plot of fictionmovies, where everything must come together at the end for a "victory" ending, that they lose sight of the reality aspect of hunting. Not every hunt ends with a kill, but that doesn't mean they aren't fun and entertaining.
The part Idon't see enough inmost hunting shows iswhenthe unexpected thingshappen on a hunting trip, like flat tires along the way, keys locked in the vehicle. It gives a peek into the character and personality of the person doing the hunt and makes it realistic.
