Default RE: Brock Ray---FAKE--better built world of outdoors

As stated in the original post the show was "scripted". Not at all uncommon considering it's a TV show and they can edit until they get the exact frames needed for the audience. Most scenes are "staged", as in the usual shot of the archer in the stand drawing back his bow and the camera angle is in front and a little low. Ever hunted with a camera between you and the deer (and you're in a tree)? Next time you watch any outdoor/hunting show, ask yourself where the camera is in relation to the shooter or the game. You will be amazed what you can discern. After all, its' only entertainment! I watched a camera crew film a show on bass fishing a few years back. They fished 8 hours for just the right footage, and they hooked/released and rehooked/released and rehooked/released the same bass for more "A" footage as they called it. Additionally, a national hunter (whose name you would recognize) did a goose hunting show here. The birds weren't flying too well that day, but they did get a few. Near the end of the morning, they would throw a dead goose in the air, roll camera, fire a few guns, and film the already dead goose hitting the ground. Never forget, its' only entertainment. Have a great day.
