RE: What is your opinion on hunting shows
I don't like the shows on the major networks. They tend to hunt at ranches or other places where harvesting a big deer (or any animal) is much, much easier than the reality for nearly all of us. I simply don't get excited seeing a guy shoot a 10 pointer from a blind. I also have no use for the shows that show 30 pheasants flushing at once from a ranch in the midwest. These shows are as foreign to me as hunting in Africa.
I wish some of the shows were more "gory." I am interested in seeing the results of the shot - how far the animal went, what damage was done, etc. I would find this interesting, but understand why it isn't on TV.
I absolutely hate a few of the shows, particularly Tred Barta.
