Man I'm gettin sick of these hunting shows

Use that remote...that is what they made it for.

I already got that part figured out. The request of the post was regarding old school shows.

I understand what you mean't... I use the remote to find another hunting show that I like to watch. They are getting harder and harder to find though.

I got about 5 shows I use the dvr on. The rest of them are infomercials..IMO

I hear ya. I miss The American Sportsman with Kurt Gowdy.

What I dont get is some of these guys shoot a monster of a lifetime, watch him keel over, and keep on whispering?!?

I've always wondered this too. Why the heck are they whispering!? When I see my trophy hit the dirt, it get pretty pumped up. I'm typcially chattering enough to make the windows shimmy, not to mention giving a couple "hell yeah" shout outs to mother nature...which is more of a self pride deal I guess, but it feels good.

i don't know who their audiance is geared toward, but I would never watch those shows

The only person who doesn't seem to care about the trophy is old Uncle Ted. But his show is COVERED in advertising more than any other show which makes me sick to watch it. He is also a fake guy IMO.

Agreed. Seems like they took their lead from that cartoon movie, "Open Season" - paints hunters out to be 'forest thugs' lookin for anything to kill. Think they're caterin to city folk and wanna-be's that glorify violence and see hunting as such against wildlife.

but the horrible heavy metal music, don't get me wrong I like some of it but it isn't propper for the hunting culture IMO.

What is this "HUNTING CULTURE" you speak of? Seems you approve of the stereotype that all those that hunt are retarded rednecks. NOt doing much for the cause with statements like that.

his "getting high off the blood of the kill" and the "mystical flight of the arrow" is, imo, a little gay, for lack of a better word.


I understand repsecting the animal and all, and i get a huge adrenaline rush from hunting, but he takes it WAY over the top.

I'm glad he's for the cause and all, but his schtick gets old real quick, at least for me.

I try to watch just cause I wanna see some hunting especially when I'm gettin pumped this time of year but the horrible heavy metal music, don't get me wrong I like some of it but it isn't propper for the hunting culture IMO. The ridiculous commercials and intros making all these bozo's out to be like rock stars riding Harleys etc. Magical potions to spray around your area to lure'em in and sprays to make you not smell. And the constant talk of trophy this, trophy that, scores, mass blah blah blah. I thought hunting was about being outdoors, exercissing that instinct in man to hunt and harvesting what nature has to offer for food.

If your into that fine, it's just annoying to me, my opinion.

I'm gonna try to find some old school hunting shows on DVD like Fred Bear etc.

Any suggestions?

ETA: Also, what current shows do you like if you think like me?

not all hunters are red necks, but the last thing i listen to when going to the ranch is cannibal corpse or deathklok. i'm not jamming out to hank williams III or johnny rebel either.



it can fuel the fire for the anti's, by sending the message that hunters listen to death metal, get all fired up, slam a redbull then go slaughter animals. same thing that happened back in the 80's when tipper gore was stateing that vulgar lyrics in rock and rap music was the cause of youth violence. perception is reality

LOL Gimme a break, thats quite a stretch assumeing that since MY OPINION that death metal isn't hunting music I believe all hunters are buck toothed drooling rednecks.

Your opinion,my opinion.......And what?

Here's a story:

A guy on my old lease has a cousin who is a cameraman for some of these hunting shows. He said you'd be shocked at how fake all of the hunting is. One anecdote he shared: guys are hunting in the afternoon, shoot a buck but make a bad shot. Track the deer for hours, but never find him. The ranch owner tells him, well we'll get you on something else. A couple days later, another hunter ends up shooting the same buck (who was limping from the bad shot); they get the original "hunter" back up there to show some laydown pics and act out the whole scene of finding the buck.

Hope your right maybe it'll bring hunting back down to an adfordable sport for most of us!!!

Another show they were filming a turkey hunt; the "hunter" was tired and slept in, but they went ahead and filmed another guy shoot a turkey. Went back, got the "hunter" out of bed and had him in the blind calling and what not, and film him shooting. Then piece it all together and act like that was his hunt.

We're all getting the wool pulled over our eyes. The whole hunting show crap is just a scam to advertise. I think there will eventually be some backlash and things will swing back the other way. At least I hope so because these shows are all BS.

The ones that aggrivate the scat out of me are The Crush, Drury Brothers, and Waddell and the fat guy. Every other word out of their mouth is "I use "x product" to get this here 300 score deer and you need to also.".

.

To be fair... the only time I tolerate Banjo Music is when a 160 is walking in...

Metal lets me watch all the way down into the 150's...

Wouldn't it be a cick to get some of the un-edited video?!?!?

I don't think we are shocked at all. I believe most of us know what is going on with these hunting shows.

MikeHoncho.. I agree!! Most hunting shows do not impress me.. If they are as GOOD as they think.. Let's see them hunt on some public land and kill a "MONSTER".. Davy Crockett National Forrest or something like that..

you can't kill a monster deer where they don't exist.

alot of hunting shows hunt public land in other states, but fact of the matter is, aside from some drawn hunts in other areas, east texas deer hunting on public land is less than desirable

Hunting shows are all pretty much the same. You've seen one, you've seen them all and I get tired of all the whispering. Most of them are just infomercials for their sponsors, their hot wives and for the ranches they are hutning on. IMO.

These hunting shows are nothing but infomercials. They've got everybody convinced that in order to be a successful deer hunter you have to have the latest, sexiest rifle in the latest WSM caliber while wearing the latest camo pattern and scent cover and attracting deer with best foods and scents and calls on the market.

Bottom line, our grandpa's went out wearing coveralls and red flannel shirts with an iron sight 30-30 and killed plenty of deer. They did it without feeders and game cams or $10,000 ATV's. And they probably did it while smoking cigarettes and coughing their lungs out.

Don't buy into the all the hype.

So what do you guys think about that show called, " On your own adventures"? I think the guys name is Randy and he only hunts public land. You guys like that kind of show or only the bigguns getting slaughtered? I prefer the d-i-y show but my brother in law says, "He never kills anything big" so he hates it. Your thoughts???

Maybe my humor is a bit different but it has seem that all of the "comedy" hunting shows/tv I've seen are all slapstick humor and it takes away from the actual validity of the hunt itself. What is his style like?

I 100% dislike the shooting of breeder bucks and having to hear someone brag about it. Lame.

Jack Brittingham used to be on TV and his shows are great because he is actually intelligent. If you want to watch something then go ahead and get his DVDs he is a Texas hunter that has ranches in East Texas and South Texas but he hunts all over the country/world

Im a big Ted Nugent fan. His music and his show. Im just curious here....why do yall think he is a fake?

Is Ted fake? I don't know, I've never met the guy. But I can tell ya this, he's a DB. Has he made up for what he did? No. Will he ever? That's not for me to say, I'll leave that decision for the vets that took his place because he was too busy gettin' rich.

mystical flight of the arrow....blood brothers....the spirit of the beast, long live the beast. Reminds me of a hippie whose brain is fried. I don't even hear great drunken philosophers drag out things like he does..imho, he just likes to hear himself talk.

there isn't anything "magical" about the animal.

Also dont forget to keep whispering even after you have made the shot!!!
