I like the bone Collector and Jim Shockey (more so Al Shockey) for the entertainment value and Deer and Deer Hunting, Quality Whitetails and Management Advantage for the tech tips on Management. As far as Primos.... You can have that, they fit the hunting stereotype perfectly with their speech and appearance like the Fat one who never shaves yet never grows a beard and misses more deer on film than he ever shoots, he missed a minimum of 4 in one season of filming. You see his fat a$$ sweating from walking 50yds and then is in ads for scent precaution, umm... ok! Primos Silver must be magic spray and a must for anyone who has also purchased X-Ray Glasses.
Not a good representation of the rest of us. I am also getting tired of seeing the guy and hot girl shows with very little content. I have met Lee and Tiffany as well as the Kisky's, these people are awesome and represent us well. They have fallen to commercialization and it is becoming more about products than the hunt itself which is nothing like what most of us have had the ability to experience. It makes me wonder ... At what point does the thrill leave and it becomes strictly a job? I would love to kill a 200" whitetail but then what? Where do you go from there? And another thing... when you have guys like Greg Ritz getting nailed for illegally taking game as Noel Feather had I wonder how many of those other "professionals" know about these things happening. I wonder how Jim Shockey feels after having Ritz on his show and then having this come out. I don't like the label Pro Hunter as a description of those with a tv show. Hunting High Fenced Areas is no more "professional" than it is "hunting". They should be called Pro-motional Hunters b/c all they do is push the products they receive for free whether the crap works or not!
