I was just watching an african safari where the took several animals antelope warthog etc. when they took the shot at the animal they either blurred the animal or showed the shooter then you see the dead animal.
this seems to be happening alot. you see less and less of the bullet/arrow hitting the animal. i dont quite understand the reasoning behind this are they trying to make hunting less bloody less violent or what??
if you shoot an animal its going to be bloody and messy if you hit it perfect. the worse the shot the bigger the mess and the more violent and less humain the kill.
so i say show how to make the perfect shot show how the animal reacts show the blood and alot of it. Its part of hunting and you cant make it go away. if i watched these hunting shows and decided to go out hunting and shot a deer i wouldnt know what to do after i pulled the trigger.
give me your opinion show it/dont show it and why??
thanks in adv.

p.s. Mods i hope its ok i posted this in the big game forum also i belive it pertains to bow hunters also and im looking for as much feedback as i can get.

Some of the networks, TNN comes to mind, do not allow the shows producers to show the actual kill.

Why ?????????because they are *****s that are trying to walk the liberal line praying their show aint cancelled.It all comes down to the Bottom line rules >>>>>>>>>>>&gt ; $$$$$$$$$$$$$$

I agree with cardeer on that one its the big bucks, hunting shows prolly dont pull in the cash like some other shows do i wouldnt be surprised for tnn to do away with hunting shows all together next, i mean they already took off the dukes.

"She said if I hit that fishin hole today, she's be packin all her things and she'd, be gone by noon....I'm gonna miss her, when I get home."

I just got the Outdoor Channel on my Digital TV Programming so there is no need . . . or desire for that matter . . . to watch TNN anymore so it goes by the wayside with ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC.

Thank God for FOX News!

this was not tnn or one of the other censor stations it was on the outdoor channel the channel i try to support relentlessly.
the network has all the rights in the world to show what they want its there station to run and manage how they seem fit
what i am inquireing about is why anyone would want to edit out such an event if it was not required like on a hunting channel

i posted this topic several places and have recieved great feedback also the show i was refering to edited the tape after filming and the outdoor channel will allow the kill shot
you see the animal then the arrow in flight and it hits a blurry oval where the animal is standing.
so they edit out the arrow hitting the animal
