Sounds like to me that you guys are compairing apples with oranges. Get on with it.

I have watched a bunch of different hunting shows.Some are good and some not so good.I think the shows depend on who is watching and what time of year it is.Different types and styles of hunting for different types of hunters.
I think they should come up with a show that takes place in a different state each time, with local hunters from that state to show how they hunt and leave all the acting in Hollywood.Also coordinate shows with the seasons.
I like primos and a few others.

I do think we have gotten off of the point a little.

Remember this thread is about how FAKE the hunting shows are that they try to sell us on! Not a thread to bad mouth other people!!!!!!!!!! I may be guilty also (Just not ELITE)
and Sorry but I do think that certain types of "Hunting" is NOT hunting at all!!!! BUT.....This IS the good ol' US of A and that is your privilege. I just wish that if they are going to put these hunts on T.V. they would make them more like...........Hunting. I think it sends the wrong message.
There are only a couple of shows that produce. I haven't seen many of Realtree Road trips but the last one I saw was a Caribou hunt and it was good! Also there is an archery one...American Archer ? and they seem to get out there and what about Jimmy Houston....Go figure............. So far the shows I've seen of him have been excellent!!
I used to think Dave Watson was all about realism but his shows have gone to pre-staging as well.
You know.........If they wanted to put on a GOOD reality hunt show. They would get 4 guys together of different hunting backgrounds and skill.....Give them only so much to work with (Old truck, set budget) but get them the tags and see what they can do unguided private or public!! that would be fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GLOB!

ColoradoElk:

What you have described is "baiting", not a food plot. There is a distinct difference. A food plot is something that is planted and grown. Just as it is illegal to bait migratory birds with an intentionally placed pile of corn, it is perfectly legal to plant millet to grow as a food plot. If I'm wrong then any time the state wildlife deps. plant on public land, they should be breaking the law?

That being said, I personally find no offense to either method so long as it is legal in the state in which you are hunting. I leave this to an individuals own preference and not a condemnation of their ethics.
