Default Does this bother anybody or is it just me?

I may just be picky, but this grates on me. I hate watching a hunting show and having the hunt broken up with cutaways that are filmed after the actual shot has taken place. To me, it's just too fake and takes away from the reality of the hunt. The only way that they can get all of the camera shots that they're showing is if they have 3 different cameramen up in the tree. That's why I like Primos videos more than any others. Is that just meor does that bug anyone else?

I agree with you 100% I hate fake, staged shots! I would also agree, that Primos is the best at not doing this!

You mean the camera man really doesn't sit directly in front of the hunter. Gee thanks for ruining it for me. [8D]

I hate the cut aways as well. Especially the fake "Here comes a big one" with the finger pointing and all.

I really hate the "recovery" of the deer after what looks to be a really crappy/misplaced shot. I've seen some "hits"[:'(](yeah - sure you put the deer down with that hit)that make you wonder if there was not a sniper with a rifle sitting there if the bowhunter missed...

Most prevalent in this "effect" is one the more well know cammo/apparel mfgs. IMHO - and don't forget YMMV!

I agree with the rest of you. One thing that really stands out and makes me want to smack the guys is when they are looking for their deer and then the camera man is in front of them looking back and they act like they just found it over by where the camera man is. "oh look theres my deer, right by the camera mans foot" - its total BS.

Our feelings exactly. That's why when our first couple hunting dvd's are out, we'll show our hunts as they happen.

Most of the people on hunting videos/shows are trying to sell something..IE a hunting call, etc. I HATE it when they grunt one sequence then 12 seconds later they tell their cameraman, "look, here comes a big one"....it is terrible. This "SUCH AND SUCH CALL is so good". And I agree with the crappy shot recovery thing...we all make crappy shots sometimes but we don't play it off and act like we recovered the deer 35 minutes later when it was really 15 hours later.
