Default Bob Coker's outdoor show is terrible example

Has anyone else seen these shows? I have only watched two, but could not believe my eyes. The first show I saw was in Mexico hunting deer. The first deer was shot with a rifle with another buck standing directly behind the first. Even my nonhunting wife noticed the lack of ethics! Next deer was shot by Bob with a bow at over 70 yards! The deer had time to jump the string and turn to run before the arrow hit it square it the butt. Bob said I hit him a little far back. Folks it doesn't get any farther back that straight in under the tail. Ofcourse, he clipped an artery and recovered the deer. Nice example for beginners huh? Next show, they are chasing the same elk around for 3 days in what had to be a pen. Had elk being chased by them etc. First elk shot was by a guy using a crossbow and he takes a shot with the elk quartering towards him. Poor choice if you ask me, but he gets his bull. Then Bob is up with another ridiculously long bow shot of 92 yards at his bull that is trotting with the same herd they have had run around and around. The bull is surrounded by other animals and he lets one fly. Actually put the arrow in the right spot but had marginal penetration. I guess you lose a little kinetic energy at nearly 100 yards, go figure. Sorry, just was really frustrated with this show and the total lack of ethics it portrays. Is it worth emailing the outdoors channels? Apparently "Hail Mary" Bob has been too busy setting a 150 yard pin on his bow to respond to my concerns I emailed him. Good luck all!
