YUP, ..... they've all gotten lazy. Last year it was all kids, overbowed women and handicapped. This year all firesticks. They just don't bow hunt anymore.

You mean you don't like the 250yard running shots from the blind "House" where the deer comes straight in to the pile of corn???

Of course that might be better than the one I saw the other day where the "hunter" didn't have time to find his deer because he had another "hunt" the next morning in another state in another high fence. The ranch owners had to send him his deer???

I agree 100%. im gonna get the Truth 12 bowhunts. i think bowhunts are alot funner to watch. that was one of the small reasons i got into bowhunting, watched a monster bucks video and saw the bowhunts. the realtree roadtrips with mike waddel always has quite a few bowhunts. theres a few bow only shows, those are always fun to watch. rifle hunts are always boring. sit in the box and whack the deer when he comes to a food plot. i'd enjoy them if they were posting a drive or something that would give them a tough moving shot.i noticed one thing the gusy on TV NEVER do: if the deer gives them a second shot, they never take it. i know i myself and everybody i hunt with puts one more in the boiler room if the deer is still on its feet and moving pretty good.insurance shot never has hurt.

I'm a bowhunter and therefore it is, or should be obvious that Bow Hunting Shows would be my favorite.

I have Primos;The Mastering the Art [A guide to calling bulls], Truth 7, and Truth 6. There four more in the elk series and I plan on having all of the elk DVD's by next hunting season.

I love hunting shows, but the gun hunts don't do anything for me anymore.

I agree. Bowhunts are much more interesting to watch. There is only one rifle kill that I actually thought was really cool. It was the one where Michael Wadell made a shot on a huge Texas buck running at him right before it jumped a fence into the thickets. It was on one of the monster bucks tapes I have and I thought it was an amazing shot. I probably wouldn't have taken the shot at a running deer but I still have to give him credit for it.
