IMO, Shockey's show is top notch. There is no reason to take a long shot when you have an oppurtunity to take a shorter range shot. There is less room for error and a better chance for a quick and humane kill. I think he normally does the right thing opposed to some of the other shows that are out there.
+1 I think Shockey runs a first class operation. Trust me, if you think that is bad you haven't been watching much hunting tv.

Jim Shockey is the real deal in my opinion.If they were waiting on a closer shot,I would trust his reasoning.

Was he shooting or was he guiding someone else? If it was him he was prob hunting with a muzzleloader and 200 yards is pushing it with a front stuffer. If he was guiding someone shooting a rifle, well maybe the shooter wasn't comfortable shooting 200 yards, or maybe shockey wasn't comfortable with him shooting 200 yards. Even though I am pretty confident in my ability to shoot 200 yards, closer is always better

Have you ever hunted bear? If youdo, you'll know why.

Hard to "pick a spot" when they look like a black blob (when far way), not to mention their thick fur you have to penetrate.
Good points teammate!!!
