RE: Bowhunting TV Shows - likes/dislikes?
Being new to bowhunting, I find the best way to learn to is to get out there and do it. But during the spring and summer it would be nice to have a DVD to watch that takes you step by step. From scouting to aerials to stand placement to the hunt and recovery to field dressing, etc. That would be the most beneficial thing for me a new bowhunter, but could also provide some insight to a seasoned "vet" as well. As far as TV shows I find most of them repetitive. I'm ok with the Primos gang. I run hot and cold with the Real Tree folks. The Mossy Oak show seems more interest in the camp footage than the hunt. Nuge's Spirit of the Wild is just out there. I do like Eastman's Bowhunting.
OK pet peeve is when they use a recycle 70's porn soundtrack for the hunt. Drop the synthesizer and let me hear a voice-over from the hunter about what he was looking for, why he waited, and why he shot, etc.
