Why then are we, hunters, putting shows on tv of hunting scenes with actual footage of the "hit" from a bullet or arrow, sometimes very poor shots, and in the end seeing the hunters celebrating the death of the animal and holding the trophy head for all to see. We are "shooting ourselves in the foot" !!!
I would like to see a different approch taken as I stated in another forum and that is to interlace these hunting shows with other programs showing how nature culls the herd. The Lion taking down the Zebra, The Wolf taking down the Elk, The pack of Coyote's ripping apart a Whitetailed deer. They should all be graphic, just as nature is. If they showed some of the suffering and brutalness that takes place in nature, then an arrow through the chest and a bullet through the lungs along with a quick death might not seem that bad. Just my Opinion
