That is a huge pet peeve of mine only because they do not tell the viewer the time delay from shot to recovery. On some it's obvious they wait to the next day but I wish they'd educate people on why and what happened.
A gut shot is a fatal wound and a recovery can be very simple when precautions and education is taken.
I don't doubt at times on some of these shows they get 25 guys out to look and then do a fake recovery but I wish they'd explain it.
Not to argue or anything, but I find it strange that you can't tell that practically every time they do a fake recovery. Now most of you guys have more experience than me (I have only killed three deer), so correct me if I am wrong, but every time I have shot a deer, when I picked it's head up, it's mouth was open with tounge hanging out. These guys walk right up to them on the "recovery" and the mouth is amazingly closed. While I know this does not make as good of a picture, I think it proves that the recovery is staged. It may be the first time the hunter has got ahold of it, but somebody as prepped that deer.
Don't get me wrong, I don't really care, it is just something that I noticed.
