I have no problems with the way they put their show together. Bad shots will happen, and the most important part of hunting is recovery in my opinion. They did what they felt was the right steps to recovering that deer, and it paid out in the end. If it was an area polluted with coyotes, I would of probably been out in a couple of hours with a spotting scope or dogs if they were legal, and tried to find the deer.

I do hate how some shows yell and congradulate each other right after a shot that looks marginal. However, this is what happens in true life. I' m sure a lot of people feel that just getting the shot in an animal is the big part of the hunt. Sometimes they try and doctor it up for the show, but it doesn' t work out too well because we aren' t an ignorant bunch, well, the majority of us I hope!

We took an outdoor channel film crew out hunting this summer, and my first of two shots was a little far back, and the second shot dropped the caribou in his tracks. That shot a little back too. They said they would edit the first shot and just show the second. In your opinions, would you rather see both shots, or just the kill shot? They can cover up any evidence of the first shot with digital editing, so it would look like a one shot kill. What do people want, quick kills or honosty?
