Personally I dont like the way hunting shows have added fancy editing such as the corny music before the kill shot, and editing in hunt recreations and so on. I would rather see the hunt with the sights and sounds that occur in nature, without any editing or recreations. What do you guys want to see when you flip on your favorite show??

Hmmmm.........I smells me a spy........

Read my post under the "todays hunting shows" thread, that about sums it up for me.

Hahaha. Me too! I want to see real hunting, not the crap that's on tv.

personally a like how the drurys do it a little music to get your heart pumping and some replays to see where the dhot hit and good shots of the antlers to gues the score

Appalacian Outdoors airs on the Sportsman Channel, doesn't it?

The problem is that most viewers want to see kills. It's much easier to kill a deer on a managed game ranch. I would also like to see videos in a normal situation. I would love to see these so called pro hunters come on my property and have the success they have in their videos. I also don't like the repetitive bird and livestock sounds on the hunts. It's the dead of winter and the birds are chirping like springtime, give me a break. Many of the videos and shows say fair chase, right. Do I still watch them?, yes. I guess they pump you up a little before season opens. I would still like to see real life fair chase videos though.

First off, I love shows who thank God and are unapologetic about his role in what they do. Maybe that's why I enjoy Fitzgerald Outdoors.

Aesthetically, yeah, the cornball music and cut aways really bug me. Now, from Ted Nugent, I understand the rock music,but most of the time,well it just doesnt fit. Cutaways never really fit and they always look acted and scripted. How about filming the actually trailing. The REALITY of the hunt. Dont just show the perfect shots. Show the failures too. But wait that might reflect poorly on the sponsors!**dripping with sarcasm**

I really just want to watch and experience the hunt. The sights and sounds especially. I do enjoy the backstories to the hunt about the trip, though.

Here's my pet peeve. I for one am tired of the shows being basically advertising services for TC and Mathews. Also, I'd like to see these guys stop hunting with the "outfitters" and manage private hunting ranches. It's like watching those latenight infomercials. Luckily I have DVR and just record them and fastforward through the crap that most shows entail. Just my humble opinion.

I've often fantasized about when i win the lottery, my dad and I shooting a few videos and producing and what not, at our own expence, and not for profit. Distributed mainly by internet, both in downloads and DVD formats. No sponsors, no infomercials... no more "i guess he heard what the encore had to say" and "That matthews bow sure did the trick"as ifthe tools are what built cabinetry or made it prettier.

A commerical is one thing, cause the guys have to make a living, but comeon, the whole show ends up pluggin for so and so's guide service andScent-Lock clothing, and dont forget Matthews bows and TC firearms. But it seams that this stuff is what drives the market for these guys.

Am I saying that if a show wanted me to be their host that I wouldnt do the sponsor thing... of course I would. But at least have some tact, cause this consumer knows better. I'm not going to run out and buy something just cuz that guy from that hunting show used it and got a 12 pt 170 class trophy buck with it. Especially when all he did was show up and shot when the guide said to shoot. That's not what hunting is about. maybe That's why I do like the Drury shows.

one more thing. Stop catering to the Anti's. I've noticed alot less of this in recent years but it's still there. Uncle Ted stands up to them. You can too.

Ok, I've said my many pieces... I hereby relinquish my soap box.
