RE: TV shows, Gut Shots
YUP, more and more bad shots on TV. BUT,... there are also more and more people shooting on TV. In earlier years it was just the Knight and Hale, Bill Jordan etc doing the shooting. Now everyone has a camera and wants to be a TV star. Seems like every other show is a guy and a girl, one dragger and one cutie. And they say Sezzzz doesn't sell. LOL Today there are beginning bow hunters all over the TV or people with minimal experience because they know someone or have big bucks to hunt. Most are probably not real competant hunters in terms of 20 or 30 years ago. Now it's all over bait or manicured food plots on lightly hunted strictly controlled property. They spend thousands upon thousands of dollars on big buck country land planting foodjust for deerso they can have a TV show. It's show business at that point. It's not hunting as the majority of the hunting world knows it. Hunting on TV has definitely changed. Overbowed beginners on film is a definite recipe for some bad shots. I suspect a lot of them are not real big venison lovers. Probably more into Tofu and salads.[8D] And yes, the shooting skills have taken a turn for the worse but they don't really care.
