i like em depends on the show i just dont like the commercials constantly the only thing i dont like about the shows is when they show the animal die i dont mind them showing the hit without it the show would be stupid it isnt always like that in some cases its a drop dead kill or a runaway in the woods and find kill personally i dont mind watching the animals die cause i see it all the time when i go hunting it doesnt bother me its just the impression it makes on others (non hunters) i was watching a hunting show one time and they shot a bull elk it ran down the hill started rolling on its back struggling and some of my relatives couldnt bear it they turned their heads away from the tv didnt mind it but i just thought about the impact it would make on a anti hunter or a animal lover to see it and it would make them think were heartless killers (which were not) as i said its doesnt bother me they just dont have to record it for the sake of watchers of the show just my opinion..........oh and nice to see somebody from Louisiana on huntingnet! i hunt inRuston Louisianabut live in North Louisiana
I TOTALLY agree. I was looking on the archived vids of Ganders show on their site. There was a caribou hunt and a guy hit one with a bow and he slowly ran off then it showed him watching and about 20 yards on the other side of him, in the same frame it showed the caribou sitting down on his butt after he stumbled then struggling to stay up. The he fell over and struggled to sit back up. Like you said I see it hunting and no biggie but for them to show it on national TV, wow
