In answer to your topic, for the most part, No. There are still many good shows on the tube though. What many of the shows ingrain into peoples heads is that they can go out to hunt and they will harvest a monster buck in 30 minutes. LOL A foolish way of thinking. Or, that if they go on an outfitted hunt they will go home with a buck because all the guys on TV do. The people thinking this way have no concept of the reality of just how many hunts and hours in the stand it takes to get that 30 mins of video for a show.
We do food plots and usually have a stand on them or nearby. We also do salt licks and usually have a stand within range. By no means does it mean a for sure harvest of a monster buck, but will increase your odds of seeing one. If you look at Hunter Specialties, Prime Time Bucks 10, Alex Rutledge is hunting a monster in Illinois. He gets it close and in bow range, but cannot connect. He leaves for a couple weeks and comes back to try again and gets video of the buck, but never gets it close enough to make the shot. No Licks or food plots there, other than the harvested crops of the field. This old buck was bedded by the highway and the only thing you could do was try to intercept him on his way back to bed in the morning. Alex never did connect and the buck was shot by another hunter on opening day of first gun. They did send someone back to camp to get pics of it to put in the video. It green scored 210 and had a 12 inch droptine.
