RE: T.V. Hunting Gone Bad!
I can't imagine ever having the opportunity to see as many "non" shooter bucks as most of these shows (Tecomate) pass on. I cannot take it seriously. Maybe it's just me... Being from Massachusetts it's nice to see a spike sometimes! 
I don't mind Gettin' Close. They have the property and manage it well. I would love to have the opportunity to own or lease that kind of land and be able to put the time in to hunt that they all do. I'd have a scary trophy wall!
Isatarak, you don't have 1/2 dozen rack bucks come running in w/ in 100 yards every single time you rattle and pound the ground w/ your fists?!?! You must be doing something wrong..

Bucktown and others, let's hear what shows specifically you have a problem with. A few have mentioned Gettin' Close. I personally don't have a problem with them, but I could see how they may get old to some. Let's here some others.

For the record, I have come to the realization that those shows are about as real as WWE.

The truth is a lot of people don't care if something is fake, as long as it is entertaining.
I am getting so tired of this hunting show bashing nonsense, if you don't like them don't watch them, I don't. It doesn't get much easier than that does it? I don't like soap opera's and game shows, so you know what I do. Instead of coming on the internet and whining about how they are rigged or the people can't act I just don't turn the stupid things on. Except the ones on the Mexican channel, those women are HOT!
When you tune into a hunting show what do you expect to see, someone shooting large deer, or someone sitting over an open field or in the woods for hours on end with nothing in sight. And then when they do see one they miss or get busted. Gee, that would be exciting, let me know when that show airs
. NEWS FLASH.......NEWS FLASH..... TV ISN'T REAL...REPEAT....TV IS NOT REAL.....WE NOW RETURN YOU TO YOUR NORMALLY SCHEDULED BROADCAST.
And how bad can the shots they make really be? I mean they recover the deer so it must have killed it.

Elkslayer338,
I grew up watching "Michigan Outdoors", then "The Practical Sportsman". I lived for Thursday nights, it was my favorite night of TV when I was a kid. Watching Bob chow down on the food at the end of the show was probably the best part! Anyway, it was a big part of why I am where I am now. "Get outdoors this weekend, it's a great place to be - see you next week"....
If you don't like certain TV or Video's - let their sponsors know. They are the ones that enable these shows to happen.
Like someone else mentioned - if you don't like what is out there, do it yourself! I did......

RE: T.V. Hunting Gone Bad!
The only thing about shows that bothers me is who they have hunting. I enjoy the AC 99% of the time, but there is a certain "posse member" who couldn't hit water if they fell out of a boat and it is frustrating as a hunter who cares about making as quick a kill as possible. I know bad shots happen to all of us, but to miss shots under 25 yards consistently is inexcusable. Another point about the AC is a main face of the show virtually never hits within 10 inches of where the should. Like was mentioned earlier it is followed by a huge smile. At least you could feel bad about gut shooting the animal. It is going to go die a terrible death and you are celebrating? Those are my beefs and it is with that show b/c it is the only one I have been watching lately. Overall I like it and am entertained. I just wish they would practice more and show remorse for bad hits.
