RE: Bowhunting TV Shows - likes/dislikes?
Would you settle for a guy who hunts his heart out and comes up short? ...Yes!!!!!
SOME OF THE THINGS I DISLIKE SEEING IN A HUNTING DVD
1. A hunt where after the shot the camera man dosent beat the hunter to the downed animal... and then the hunter has to Fake the Reinactment of finding the downed animal.....( EXAMPLE.... The Camera man is filmingfrom behind or beside the downed deer and films the hunter faking findinghis downed deer while they are walking up totheir deer that has already been posed and cleaned of any blood)I hate watching the fake acting on the hunters behalf.... show us the real thing.... we all know a fake when we see it.
1415. A hunt where they dont do next day or after the hunt reinactments of the hunt and or from the treestand because they didnt get the footage of something they wanted during the hunt.... JUST SHOW US THE REAL DEAL.
2021. A hunt where the HUNTER DOSENT SAY..... I SMOKED HIM !!!
AND WHERE THEY DONT TALK NON STOP.... SOMETIMES WHEN WATCHING A DVD THEY JUST TALK NON STOP AND ARE NOT REALLY GIVING US ANY NEEDED OR USEFUL INFORMATION...AND I WISH THEY WOULD JUST SHUTUP AND HUNT... LET US HEAR THE WOODS AND ALL THE NATURAL NOISES IN THE WOODS DURING THE HUNT.
SOME THINGS I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IN A FUTURE HUNTING DVD
30[size=4]31. A Hunting DVD you play in the DVD player ...BUT, YOU CAN ALSO PLAY IT ON THE COMPUTER that on the menu section gives you a choice to watch the hunt..... but then you can also put it in the computer and view in the menu section the educational history to the hunt... setup in an educational format... page by page on the computer so we can really study it and learn from it.
A. Shows a topo and colored aerial photo of the property and the hunt area in a close up colored aerial photo( for the viewer to look at and study )
B. Shows the stand sites on the aerial and topo and the use of those stands with different winds.
C. Show why they are using those specific stand sites... example food plot, mast crop , travel corridor, funnel, saddle, pinch, waterhole etc. .
