i agree 100%,kids are going to think they can only kill huge bucks if they grow up watching most hunting shows. teach them to hunt and that its up to them on the size of buck they kill. once they learn the basic hunting skills ,they can decide if they want to trophy hunt or meat hunt.
as for the lady in the hunting department,you may have just helped her turn into a active PETA member. we must be very careful with this these days.. its like we all used to do after killing a big buck,throw it on the tailgate of the truck and ride down main street to show it off. we must stop doing things like that because it turns people against our sport.
when your kids watch tv shows be sure to tell them that its entertainment and advertisment and thats why they only kill big bucks,just to make you buy there products.
if it wasn't for hunting shows alot of kids would never get interested in hunting at all,so i think they are helpful in getting them started.
