I am sure that you have all noticed that the majority of hunting videos are filmed in Illinois, Iowa, Texas, and other places. Why dont we see alot of hunting in New England??
Even the journals on this site....there are no representatives for New England?

They have to hunt the big ranches and outfitters where there is200 birds per acre. Would actually have to work to hard up here in the northeast. I have some friends who aren't short on cash and hunt midwest and south for turkeys every year to a man they all say the birds just tend to be tougher to harvest up here. I have no proof and am totally going on what they tell me.

I posted a similar question about deer DVD's. While I was able to find the Parson videos from PA and the Benoits have some of their filming in NH (and I guess the older ones have Maine too) there is not much else.

Reason?? I suspect the low density of game makes for a slow video, although a turkey one could be good.

I always have wanted to see Jackie Bushman and the other TV hunters on video hunting public lands in New ENgland.Doing alltheir own scouting and set ups, just to see how they would fair. But those guys will never have a show w/o lots of deer to film and god forbid nothing dead at the end of the show.

Our deer are pressured and nocturnal and SMART. same with our turkeys. You cant just set a stand up between the bedding and feeding area and kill huge deer easly. I would like to see more of that stuff though

Good call jf5 - I'll best most of the so called professional hunters could come up to the northeast, pick a ridge to hunt, and within a couple of days come out with a P&Y deer. That's why most videos are filmed out west - lots of private land with lots of fences. If you get a trophy in the northeast, you will have to earn it.

I just came across your posts about nothaving many hunting videos from the North East, or the East coast for that matter. I live in South Central PA, and we have been making hunting videos for several years now. We have been getting excellent feed back from people throughout the area and neighboring states about the reality and how our videos target what most hunters can relate to. We hunt mostly PA, but also hunt neighboring states as well.Check out our web site for more info on our videos. Thanks.

P.S. My brother and I, as well as two of our friends from New York, Dave and John,are in the middle of working on something big for all the East Coast hunters looking for more from this part of the country. Stay tuned!

There is a big difference between TV hunters and real hunters. Thats why all the famous people keep away from out neck of the woods. Its like work and god knows those silver spooned rich folks don't know nothing about work.
