It takes DAYS upon DAYS and atempt upon atempt to get the video just right, picture perfect. In the end its ALL staged, walking up to the animal, the bait, the food plot ect. If you were to put in the sweat for your own food plot it would still be nothing like the TV shows. You have outfitters giving up monster deer they have been watching for years only for 15 minutes of fame. These shows do very little of their own leg work, they might as well shoot them at the zoo. I too once had set it as a personal goal to make a few appearances on these hunting shows until I was told what goes on behind the scenes from people who film and produce these shows. If you love the sport, if you breathe the sport and spend every waking minute thinkng about it like I do, then dont ruin it for your self with these fake TC shows......next think you know they will be shooting Boone and Crocket Unicorns!
