I'm not much of a "venter" but hear me.Being Iowa born and raised and now NR I watched this show.The guy gets hosted by some guy who I guess wants to rub shoulders with Celebrity(I never heard of him).Hunts a few days and gut shoots a big buck at 50-60 yards-loses him (at least he admits it).Calls the wife for permission and "smokes" a 120" 10 point to "save" his hunt.Disgusted.
Carry on

I just refuse to watch this kind of crap altogether. This is why I left compound bow shooting entirely. The vast majority of these guys are EXACTLY what anti-hunters think they are.. I can't think of a worse thing to be than that.

OK....so I turn on Easton Bowhunting-Fred Eichler.Takes a admittedly forced windy shot in an "opening and closing" hole in the brush.Only difference is he quits hunting and finds the gutshot deer 3 days later......I appreciate the honesty but SMH at the pressureforTV shots taken.
Time to go watch something else...I was hoping Fred would save the night.
Lesson for the evening to young guys-its OK to take bad shots and gut shoot it happens to the best of them.

So now some show '" stole" the name of the Wensels videos? Which in my opinion show what REAL bowhunting is all about! What a disgrace! Time to call the lawyer and start litigation!

They arent hunters as much as guys just killing animals. There is a difference

I saw the show too. I also thought it was pretty pitiful of them to brag about "smoking" the buck at the end. Marked that show off my list.

I don't watch any of that crap. Bowhunting shows show the worst of us. No respect for game because the kill is most important to them. Frank

I can't stomach any of that garbage either. I do like a show called Solo Hunters. It's just a couple of guys who hunt alone and film their own hunts. That's the only one I will watch.

I don't watch any of them... or patronize their sponsors.
Want to change things? Or at least feel better? Start sending letters to the advertisers and tell them that as long as they're associated with people of such low ethical standards and skewed values, that you won't patronize them. Money talks. Maybe it won't change anything, but venting here surely won't either.

Once again I simply cannot understand the entertainment value in watching someone else hunting on film. It matters none if it's Howard Hill or Fred Bear. None especially if it's a poacher like Ted Nugent whose multiple state game law violations he blames on complex government regulations. And absolutely none concerning the dozens of fist-pumping, whack'em and stack'em, gear-hawking "pro-hunter" morons sponsored by manufacturers who want to sell you a truckload of useless crap.

Watched Lee and Tiffany, lee shot at a sheep at 120 yards and missed. He said he was comfortable with the shot because he practices out to 130 yards. Give me a break, he missed the sheep by a lot.lol

I've seen so many gut shots, opps I mean double lungs , that they show finding the deer just before dark on a morning hunt that I got sick of em all. I hated the laughing uncontrollably, crying, and bbd comments anyhow so it made it easier just to stop watching em all. I have yet to see one that I would consider a good show.

It's just part of the world we live in now days....get use to it it's not going to get any better,just more expensive.
Pretty sad really..unless us old guys pass down morals & ethics when it comes to hunting(life for that matter) this will only get worse.
Any fly fishermen here? Remember when "A River Runs Though It" came out?...Brad Pitt and Robert Redford....man that messed up fly fishing bad!
I use to fish what is called "A world class River" now, back then it was just a local river....use to fish there all day and most of the time I had the place to myself or maybe run into 2-4 guys. After that movie came out it was a parking lot with everyone decked out with $1-$4 worth of gear
It's all about money and those greedy type folks will take advantage of and exploit it.

Guess I'm not near the hunter Lee and Tiff are...I worry over shooting at deer at 120 yards with a rifle. 120 yard shot with a bow at a deer? That should buy you a one way ticket out of any well managed lease.

" worry over shooting at deer at 120 yards with a rifle. 120 yard shot with a bow at a deer?"
I could comment on that for a paragraph or two but seeing how this isn't a gun site I'll keep my mouth shout to a point.
I shot competitive bench rest for 7-8 years mostly 100-200 yards and then 1000 yards. These new shows where guys and kids are taking 1000+ yard shots at game just make me sick...there is a science to it but nobody and I mean nobody call tell what the wind is going to do at those ranges. Everyone is a Sniper nowadays..LMAO
They have no real talent...it's all software and ballistics...I could teach anyone to do that in a few hrs....it's not hunting.

Mike W - In the 70's and 80's I fished all of the west, and found about no one else, or very few........ However say what you want, I have never seen better fly fishing than the UP......
If I see one truck, I go down the road, give him room, and find another spot......
Fishing up here this year, has been very good, and did I tell you, its hard to find another guy on the water, ha ha ha
Sorry I know this is a bow site, but love to talk to another fly fisher, ha ha ha

Until you pull a 8' shark into the boat,the tail gaff comes off and it bites someone dog and then breaks a guys leg.
When is the last time that's happen to you hunting?

Yeah that counts, my brothers best friend did that with my Springer Spaniel after I told him he couldn't use it...he came over told my Mom I said he could and killed it under the same circumstances...she made it back to the porch scratched on the door and my mom found her dead....I kicked his A## and destroyed his new for Christmas Browning shotgun.
Was arrested and went to jail for 24 hrs....wouldn't change a thing about it other than kicking his A## more.

Wow Mike....
All of us had our own dogs, but only one got shot...8^) It wouldn't have gotten sprayed had is not been running fast and silent way out in front of the pack...
The dog was alright, but the worst thing about our episode was there were 4 of us, and we skipped school to go rabbit hunting (it may have been the first day of season if I remember correctly, heck I was youngest and only about 12 or 13 I think, was in jr high), but anyhow we got the cops called on us and they came afield and took us to the police station (mainly to scare us, and it worked) and had are parents pick us up... The one friend got a beat'n from his dad when he got home, mainly for skipping school.... I don't think I ever skipped school after that...
We were slaughtering the rabbits too, having a blast... Hose up a really great day of hunting...8^)

I was a fly fisherman before "the movie" came out...and yes, it add a huge influx to the sport, most not for the good. Crowded streams with people who has no ethics or no sportsmanship who looked like they just walked out of a Orvis catalog, and had no idea how to use all that thousand dollar gear they had strapped all over them. Not to mention bringing the yapping lap dog with them to the stream. Kinda funny except for the solitude on the stream was gone.

I can't stomach most of the crap on the outdoor channels. To me sitting in a blind over a corn pile and shooting a deer has nothing to do with hunting it's much more like a slaughter house. It is really damaging to us as sportsman that people do see and do that stuff .
