Yep....I hate it.
Since we are sponsored by Metalist Camo, I HAVE TO BE WEARING their gear when on video. Which means, I have to wear their product OVER my scent blocker suit, or my footage cannot be used in our videos. Also, I cannot be shown using, say, a Primos or MAD deer call. I can use them all that I want, but cut aways will be added to show me using our sponsors calls, even if I never used them to call in a deer.
What bothers me is- why even have these guys as sponsors if I dont want to use their stuff ? I guess its more for backing and support, who knows.

It seems to me thatone should nothave a sponsorwhenthey don't or won'tuse their products. That is a bit disingenuous I believe.
Having said that, Istill see alot of shows with that terrible blotted out sponser name.

Another possibility is that the Bino Mfg'er was approached about sponsoring the show and passed it up. Not wanting to give "free" advertising to anyone, they blurred out the logo/name. I know this happens too.
