Bowhunting DVD Industry
Do you guys buy as many hunting dvd's as you once did?
I've always religiously bought my favorites but I get a little tired of the trend of the various teams spreading their best prodcution over more and more dvd's.
I want to buy Monster Bucks and have the best Realtree hunts. Primos the Truth and have theirs.
I don't want twelve dvd's from each of them with the guys I've gotten to know spread out betweenevery extended family membor and sponsor to fill productions.
I kind of enjoy getting to know the guys I feel are the best and seeing their seasons.
I guess DVR/Tivo doesn't help. I'm more likely to have recorded and watched some of them before they are released.
It's all good I guess.
Thoughts?

I have several dvds but they are for entertainment only, none for educational purposes. I don't really put a lot into these videos b/c they hunting places that I never will look at or even dream about.

very few......
occasionally if someone has a shipping only......or giving away or something like that....promoting their new dvd....and its $5....ill check it out.
I see enough hunts on tv.....when I draw a special tag somewhere, I try to get some sort of educational dvd on that specie.....
so perhaps a elk hunting/learning to call elk dvd....
currently looking for a bison dvd.....
also get a free one per year with my eastmans' subscription it seems....so the dvd collection grows on its own....

You just need to watch the right DVD's...
I'm just afraid you guys missed the boat, (timing-wise). I wish you'd gotten into this maybe 5-7 yrs ago.
I hope I'm wrong...and you're right. Good luck with it.

I follow the Primetime buck videos and try to pick up the new 1 every year. I like that they show more than just the killand they explain there hunting spots,stand placements, and other information.
My problem with alot of the dvd's is that they are always hunting on farms as well and that takes the interest out of it. I would like to find a dvd set where it is fair chase in the wildto see how many big bucks they can kill year after year. Even Primetime bucks are all located on Outfitters.

Not like I once did. I was a fan of Monster Bucks (note I said, WAS ) and will watch them on ESPN 2 sometimes, but I've now got the Sportsman Channel, which I really like. It's MOSTLY just average guys like us out hunting. No big money behind it, no fancy productions....
There are a couple I will continue to purchase every year though. WKP's videos are freakin sweet, and I'm a Realtree Roadtrips fan. I buy each season when it comes out.
I USED to like Drury outdoors, but they are just WAY WAY WAY WAY WAY too rich for my blood anymore. I may get their 100% Wild/Fair Chase again this year though...but that would be it.
