I get a kick out of watching the shows filmed out west, or in Africa. These are so different from what I experience here in central Missouri that I find them quite interesting. Elk hunts are cool, and watching guys stalk cape buffalo is pretty exhilarating.
The shows on the deer ranches and such don't interest me. As soon as some guy behind the shooter starts talking about passing this 150" buck because he knows a 180" will be along shortly I switch the channel. That's not hunting, it's shopping!
Plus, watching an animal killed over bait isn't very impressive, c'mon, how is that fair chase?
I also like watching Jim Shockey's show,
The Professionals. It's interesting to me to see what all he and his crew go through to get stuff on camera.
