I think you have to take each show for what it is worth. I don't think many of the shows out there intend to teach anything, but to entertain. For those shows, I agree that most any hunter could produce. The shows that use outfitters for 90% of their shows are not really hunting, but shooting, in my opinion. I have done a small amount of filming before and the outfitter showed us our stand, told what buck had been visiting the location, and when to expect it. They did prettymuch everything expect shoot it for us. However, there are shows that do demostrate true huntig abilities. Other have already mentioned Jim Shockey, Lee and Tiffiany are hunting their own ground for the most part, whitetail freaks are following Joe Blow hunters, but none of those shows have the intended purpose to teach, but still to entertain. Take them for what they are, don't read too much into them.
