All I could do was shake my head in disbelief
I was watching the show "Higher Ground" the other day. Let me start by saying that I like the idea of the show. If you haven't seen the show the host takes out different people who have done something good for their country/community/town and takes them on a hunt. For example, the show I watched he took a pastor from Texas and his son on an Arkansas deer hunt. The pastor had lost his father to cancer I believe and something else tragic had happened. Anyway they all go on this deer hunt and the first person they show hunting is the host. He kills a bruiser buck and him and his guide walk up to it and kneel down beside it.
What gets me is they blurred out the guides binos that were hanging around his neck. I don't even know if you could have read the brand name on them had they not blurred them out. I mean is it that big of a deal? It's just seems like that is taking it overboard. I guess the sponsors of these show are more in control than I thought

What is there to disbelieve? If one of my sponsors is paying for my airtime, you better believe I am not going to allow a competitor's name/product to show up on the screen. That only makes sense to me.
Ijust finished editing adeer hunt from last year. Buck Keith killed, a 160 IL buck.There was an extended time that the treestand seatshowed the manufacturer'sname. I blurred it out. They aren't a sponsor, aren'tpaying for airtime, or even giving us stands...so why would I want to advertise for them? Andadd to that, why would I want tomake a potential standsponsor think we are already hooked up? It costs money to produce tv and dvd's...quite a bit of it.While thereare shows that go overboard in shoving sponsors down viewer's throats, surelyviewers can get a grasp of the fact that no production companyis in this game to loose money.

Well that wasnt the ponit, he just realized that all hunting shows are about advertising, he thought that this show was a good one.

HUH??? It was exactly his point...I need a "shaking my head in disbelief" smiley on this one...the poster asked "is it that big of a deal?"...and the answer is a definite yes, it is that big of a deal.

Robin is spot on on this one!!!!! Jim, by the way that is a good show, and the Clarks are great people, I like what they do with their show. I met them last weekend at the TTHA show in Ft Worth, there is not enough people doing good things with their shows these days....
