Indeed, I have turned it off. And I really hated doing that because I remember what the show used to be like.

That is a perfect description of what has happened.

Agreed.

The only reason I posted this is to gauge whether or not I was being objective about it. I intended to send these shows some feedback from me, but wanted to see if I had any sympathizers first. Looks like I have a few.

I think my comments were fair and cordial.

I totally agree, Tiffany drives me NUTS! The whole blonde airhead stereotype is applying to her....but that doesnt mean she has to act like it on TV. She makes us women hunters look stupid lol

Thank you KYDeerHunter03. My wife agrees with you 100%. Nice to have a female hunter's perspective on this.

I know that there are some here that think she is all that and a bag of chips. But I've come to the point that I have now deleted all of her and Lee's shows from recording to my DVR. After watching the last two episodes of "Gettin' Close" and "The Crush", it has become plainly evident that the producers of those shows are only interested in portraying her as the trophy, and not the awesome deer they both harvest. Each show consisted of more than 15 minutes of the camera following her around acting like a 16 year old high school air head. And only 5 minutes of real, honest to goodness, in the field, hunting footage. I'm not saying she's ugly. I'm just more interested in the deer. But not at the price of having to listen to her babble.

I respect both of them as hunters and admire their trophy management principals. I'm just frustrated with the direction the producers have decided to take the shows she participates in. I wondered if anyone agrees with me? And that's why I post this here.

On a similar note....You think Lee minds all those viewers "oogling" over her?
Or does that TV paycheck offset any jealousy/protectiveness?

Ok, I've said it. Sorry if I offend anyone.

I agree.

I like hunting shows that explain things, so you can understand how things really work in the field.
Like Roger Raglin, Deer and Deer hunting, etc, etc, etc.
If I want to see Blond Air Heads, I will watch ESPN, or some lame channel with the same ole lame Blond shows.

JMHO

No one is mad. Just disappointed. Never said she wasn't nice. Just annoying, now more than ever.

I think that there are few other shows that feature hunting couples that do a much better job. "Archer's Choice" for instance.

I pretty much hate all hunting shows including hers. However, I love Tiffany and I'm 100% prepared to step and fill Lee's shoes should anything happen to him. I would just have to check with my ol' lady first.:happy0001:

Really though, If thats what helps them be successful, more power to the both of them. I'm just not going to watch it myself.

Personally i think all of the so called video hunters fer pay are just that paychecks, money talks BS walks! I don't watch any of them.

Pheasantpoint 06-27-2010 05:52 AM

I have meet them and they are truly down to earth people.I enjoy watching there show,but I also like the Eastmans and the Cameron Haines Rocky MT Elk shows the best.I guess thats because hunting the mts is what I enjoy the most.

Whats the value going on a forum and crying about hunting shows ? Every year you will read about how these people are not hunters and their shows suck...they have it easy...they should have to hunt the conditions I do.....blah blah blah......

Some seem to forget these shows are for entertainment. They do it for a living. If the show was about a couple guys hunting public land in Alabama and they killed few little scrub bucks then would people watch it? The answer is not many. There have been shows that tried the DIY and public land concept and they just don't stand up.....People want big bucks and want action. Much like guys want to go to a Hooters with really hot women rather than fat ugly women working there. Its all about entertainment and wishful thinking....

I remember the days when there were almost no hunting shows on TV. I'd rather not go back to those days....plus alot of young people have the chance to see hunting and get interested in the sport. So....like I said if you don't like them don't watch. Simple.

but guys......

I wouldn't believe that the Eastman shows are all on public land. I hunted WY a few years back and the guide that was taking me out pointed to some of the land that teh Eastmans and the Primos team hunted. Oh yeah, you could get on this land to hunt - for about $6000 and shoot a nice 6x6 bull.

I disagree. We all know the outcome of most shows will be a whopper buck. What keeps my attention span is Fred Eichler whacking the first buck that comes by. He held out for a good one this morning, but I hope he's not a die-hard trophy hunter from now on, because I like watching him get fired up about the smaller bucks he kills.
