These so called "Hunting shows" are nothing more than glorified commercials.
Well said.
If you made the following rules:
1. No guide services, hunt on public or private land without any help.
2. Use all the "products" you sell that you want.
3. You have one week.
NONE would get a deer, much less a big buck. They are supposed to be mighty hunters but if left to do it without the help of a guide and without someone letting the big deer out of a cage on cue they'd be lost.
I watch the shows just to see the nice bucks that can be grown on a game farm...
