I only watch them strictlyfor entertainment. I know most of them are canned or set up...not very realistic to the real world that most of us are used to. The only thing that really irritates me is when people think that these people are such great hunters (my cousin does this). I find most of the hosts/hunters on the shows are blowhards and are just as much (if not more so) salesmen as they are hunters. I don't hold it against them that they have to pitch products in order to have a show, but I often am left wondering if I saw a show on hunting or a 22 minute infomercial.
