Nothing more than my opinion, but I think most of what we see on tv is filmed after the animal is already down. get the hunt on film, then traipse around the woods looking for sign, etc. Also, you gotta think all the talking they do is gonna spook their buck but it never seems to. I'll bet they film half of the chit chat on stand after the shot too. who cares about touching rubs or scrapes if you're going to be hunting in a different state tomorrow? probably the guy who is paying his 2500 to hunt there instead of being sponsored by Team Realtree, but the show must go on...
