RE: What is your opinion on hunting shows
When I first jumped into bowhunting headfirst about a year ago, I watched every bowhunting show I could find. Most of them are focused on bowhunting. I thought these shows made everything look easy and they do, because they have the prime areas set aside for shooting the trophies. Seems to me that the more I watch shows like this the more jealous I became. Although I do have my own land, I really balk at dumping thousands of dollars into it just to shoot deer.
Probably the most interesting part of any of these shows is the actual shot and how the deer reacts. One show that is wearing thin with me is "Spirit of the Wild". It's seems like a 30 minute product endorsement for all of his advertisers. Not much real hunting content in his shows either, all are mostly canned hunts. I call it killing at this point.
Another thing that I don't care for is hunts in Canada or outside of the US. Most likely I'll never go on one, so why would I care about it?
