RE: T.V. Hunting Gone Bad!
Baiting and releasing deer to kill is no worse than me putting on some after shave and putting on my best to attract the ladies.[8D][8D]
That said, I know what you mean about some shows... but really, calling Christine and Justin slob hunters... Shame on you

RE: T.V. Hunting Gone Bad!
Let me preface this by saying this is totally my personal opinion, BUT...
I believe that most of the beef with hunting shows comes from some folks that are green with envy knowing that someone is out there hunting dream locations with free equipment, filming their hunts, and getting paid for it. I would be willing to bet that these people that are being complained about would still be out there hunting just like the rest of us if they didn't have the opportunities that have. They have been given the golden ticket and are living the dream and some of us average Joes can't handle that it's not us. I'm cool with it (although I can't say I'm not envious) and wish them the best.
Again, JMHO.

Not really HuntingBry... the beef that most have is they've become commercials and so many are so phony. They take hunting further and further from hunting. Today most of them are comedy specials and in your face crap. They're not the hunting tradition at it's best by a long shot.

I use my remote control and change the channel. I don't watch too many hunting shows anymore for some of the reasons already given in previous posts. Too much of it isn't reality, too commercialized and too may instances of poor judgment. I only watch Deer and Deer Hunting anymore.
So just change the channel

I think one thing you guys are missing are the hundreds of hours some of these guys put in a stand or blind to shoot these animals. You act like these guys go out and the first hour in the stand they shoot a 160".
I know for a fact (because I had him hunting with me in Kansas) that it took Waddell 3 years of hunting to shoot his buck in Kansas with his bow.
There are good shows with legit hunters and bad shows with not so legit hunters.
IMO Waddell, Drurys, Lee and Tiffany,Jay Gregory, Will Primos---These guys are the legit good ones.

IMO... Waddell and Lee and Tiffany are a comedy act. Just too much crap... like Waddell sitting with ear phone on listening to music and singing out loud and making like he's playing a guitar and then saying, "I don't know why they won't come out". And all the over used words that to me are away from the hunting tradition, such as I put the smackdown on him, that's what I'm talkin' bout etc etc. And the Drury boys with this dream season soap opera with splitting up couples and people that have never shot a bow is just too much. Primos are good. Gregory OK. There are better.
