I commented earlier on this post but I want to add to it.

I'd like to see more people hunting on these shows that make this sport their passion instead of a job. Don't get me wrong there is nothing wrong with getting paid to hunt and I would do it in the blink of an eye, but the problem I see is that most of them it is just that.... a job. You need some hunters who have an actual passion for this sport, and who can apreciate the outdoors more than the ones on tv now. Hire some hunters and pay them just enough to survive and pay their way into hunts and not offer them these huge contracts and then you'll have the people that obsess about hunting and do it out of passion and not out of money. Thats the people I would rather see on tv, people who I can relate with instead of people that pass up on a 110 class dear because its big enough. I love seeing monster bucks but only when it was hunted by fair chase. When the show starts out with the hunters arriving at their lodge I usually lose interest because I can't relate and it does nothing for me. I want to see people that hunt for meat sometimes instead of just for trophies. I wanna see people hunting to put food on the table whether itsa 180 class buck or a 100lb spike. That show "Dream Season" got my attention when they first announced it but once I saw the first episode I changed the channel once I realized that the people on their weren't average joes, they were people who like all the other people tv only shoot huge deer and that turned me off.

Do a show like "Road Trips" but instead of sending your guys to outfitters all over the country, send them to public land all over the country and give them a week to read the map, scout the area and hunt for public land animals. It's public land so you can't hold out for a 180 class dear so you take what you can. You wanna film a show about a hunt in Iowa fine, but make it a Iowa public land hunt.

I think another good idea would be to surprise a dad some where with a father/son hunt. Every dad that hunts loves to take their son or daughter to the woods with them. If your gonna do some outfitter show then send a father/son or father/daughter team to the outfitter. Give the average person the chance to take a big buck and film it.

I wouldn't go as far as this but bring the TK and Mike stuff back. Not the stupid comedy that they did but take the fact that they had fun hunting and put that into your show. Those guys were some straight idiots but they had fun doing what they did and in all honesty they made a killing with their videos. Not only did they draw in the fan base but they had fun an ultimately thats what hunting is about.... the enjoyment you get out of it.
