RE: Bucks of Tecomonte... what a joke..
as a former resident of texas who had a ranch, its not as easy as they make it look. I garuntee they put their time in on the stand, even if they dont show it. Do you think they would sell many products/hunts/etc if all they showed was the hunter sitting in a blind for a few days before shooting the deer?
The deer can grow surprisingly large antlers on cactus/grass/whatever, rainfall and age is more of a factor than natural food supply.
I dont think the show degrades hunters or hunting, so if someone wants to shoot a deer from 250 yards away, who cares? In Texas, there is no terrain to funnel deer movement. They can, and literally do run anywhere. If you hold out for a 20 - 30 yard shot only, your going to have many many many unproductive days on stand.
Overall, If you dont like what your seeing on tv, change the channel. If you dont change it, and still continue to complain about it, I have no sympathy.
