Default TV Hunting Shows - Pet Peeves

OK.... I've just watched a couple more hunting shows on tv and while I enjoy the critters, the scenery, etc. some things just irk me to no end... I put up with them because, well.....they sure beat most other stuff that's on tv.

If any TV show producers read these forums, here goes.

1.) Whispering: This drives me bonkers. I don't hear as well a I used to, so when people whisper I usually don't understand a word they are saying. Yes, I can always use closed caption but I prefer not to. I'd much rather have a narrator and then the hunter can talk later in a normal tone of voice.

2.) Sighting in their rifles or checking their bows: We get it, Ok? You don't need to waste time showing us your gun is on. I understand that younger, inexperienced hunters might benefit from this, but for the vast majority of us you're wasting our time.

3.) Background Music: Obnoxious, blaring electric guitars detract from everything hunting is all about... Keep the music soft and only use it when appropriate.

I'm done.......for now.
