RE: Canada in the Rough
 

I have watched the show since it came on, I agree that maybe a little to much "chat", however I am happy just to have a canadian hunting show that is actually about hunting. Keep up the good work. The time for me is fine, kids and wife are still sleeping, coffee and me are hunting. The dall sheep episode was great but would of been nice to see more of the buildup to it, however having hunted sheep I know that they are hard enough to get never mind film it to. Keep up the good work and looking forward to seeing more.

Hey all,

Long time no see!

I have watched every episode thus far and by far the Muskox must be the dumbest creature alive. I really didn't care for this show only because if you're feeding your family, fine....shoot. But if you're hunting for the sake of hunting....shooting an animal that circles the wagons, doesn't seem very sporting.

Second, on the Muskox show, I doubt the animals went very far and it would have been neat to see them running off and then dropping. I'm sure you have it all on tape, so it would have been good.

Finally, some of your shows should have been shown at different times. I think your deer episode was in August? We're still a week away! Wouldn't this weekend be a better option?

It's great to have a REAL hunting show back in Canada. I lost Realtree and Buckmasters a couple of years ago when SPIKE stopped carrying them, I really miss my hunting fix.

A loyal viewer.

Hey all but taxman in particular,

Its nice and somewhat of a relief to see fellow hunters concerned when a hunt seems too easy. I didn't see the Musk-ox hunt but I have worked near them when I was younger. Unfortunately 10,000 years of defending from wolves helps not one wit against modern bows/fireams etc. I assume it was still a fair chase hunt, just not a very challenging species.
My concern focusses more on aircraft being used to scout game animals, in the west this is mostly moose, sheep etc. (Most outfitters own a Supercub)The dall sheep hunt bothered me as helicopters are used. It is very easy to kill a sheep if a helicopter is used.Thats why game branches use them for game surveys.Lets not try to be New Zealand. The game hunted there is neither native, nor wildlife, unlike our own.
My biggest pet peeve though, is game farm (fenced)hunting. Of course Hunting in the Rough does not endorse this either. In the first 100 years of fair chase elk hunting, only 4 elk scored over 400 points B and C. Now you can go to a saskatchewanhunt farm and bump one off before lunch even when you don't get out of bed till 10 am. (see Big Game Adventures Mag) If this continues to be called hunting I will put away my guns and make sure my children never inherit them. Lets at least call it something else, I suggest we could call it "target practice."
I endorse fully a Canadian Hunting program, keep up the good work you guys, and please keep fair chase as the main theme.
I look forward to an elk hunt...............
cheers

Just watched the caribou hunting show and found it to be excellent and very realistic based on my experience. This looks like a pretty good show.

Well, I think that’s it for the season. Now the repeats will start but that’s ok, I missed a couple shows any ways:D

The Mountain Caribou/Moose hunting episode is my favourite by far. Great footage around the campfire.

Canada In The Rough is a a great show and I wish them years of success!
