Hey BB, I've talked with The BOTW guys about that, and the Outdoor Channel only allows them so much "blood" time. For a while they wouldn't even allow them to show "long range" shots...even their wolf hunt couldn't be aired...
If that's the case then the outdoor channel may as well be PETA in hiding as far as I am concerned. To censor out the realness our of an actual hunt on a hunting show on a outdoor channel is nothing but absurd.
Tell me how Ted Nugent gets away with it then. On his shows he flips the animal over to make a point to show the entrance and exit wounds and all of the blood loss and also points out all of the blood while trailing the animal. This is all part of the killing of an animal. The camera is also almost always behind him while tracking an animal instead of being in front of the deer while the actors, (chough cough) I mean hunters walk up to a cleaned up and posed deer and lay their rifle or bow over the cleaned up wound that you can't even see.
Maybe Ted uses up every one else's "blood time"
