RE: just dont uderstand
I enjoy watching Jim's shows. And I think they try to get closer for a couple of reasons. The closer you are the better chance you have of making a Good shot. And not to mention it is just freakin exciting to get close to bruins! There eye sight doesn't compare to deers either. I have been pretty close to bear and they never even saw me. I can't wait to shoot a big Griz with my bow someday!

It's also a hunting show. the longer they wait.....the more footage they get.

I think he has one of the better shows out there.

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.

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.

Shockey is adamant about shooting only boars too, so they get close to make absolutely sure that he is shooting a male. And, with Shockey, lots of muzzleloader hunting, so closer of course is better. I too am a big fan of Shockey and his shows.
