Do you enjoy watching hunting shows?

Fishing shows are cool because they do the same exact things that I could. I woke up this morning to a dude deer hunting on a pristine farm with a guide right next to him. After that, a guy was in Africa hunting antelopes, and now they are hunting a cape buffalo.

I just think this shite is ridiculous. Who has the money to pay $50k/yr for a deer lease in Illinois? Who has the money to spend $100k on an Africa trip and stay in a 5-star hotel while doing so. They just get in the back of a LR Defender, drive to exactly where the animals are, and shoot one within 10 minutes. Then they don't have to load it up or skin it, just go back and sit in their en suite hot tub.


Let's see a mother fricker dragging a skinny 150lb basket rack 13pt through the swamp by himself and I'll enjoy/respect that much more.

I could watch fishing and bird hunting all day, but the big game hunts are pretty stupid.

Not really all that much anymore. I will still watch occasionally with my dad but not near as much as I used to

Only if the hosts aren't obnoxious and it isn't high fence hunting.

I do enjoy them but, I also understand what they are. I watch them mainly to see wildlife

They wanna act like they did so much work to kill that specific deer and have been hunting him since he was 4. In reality, the hardest thing they did was climbing into the box stand

Other than safari shows and varmint hunting, no.

I like watching people shoot elephants and mow down piggies from helicopters. Deer hunting shows are intolerable unless it's the nuge on a population control mission.

It's not even the style of hunting, its the production

they all have the same cheesy graphics, the same cheesy rock country song, some cheesy slogan or celebration

they are all just so damn cheesy

NO, I can't stand when they shoot something they turn around a look at the camera and tell you what just happened. Hey a-hole, I just watched you don't have to tell me what happened.

As dumb as it sounds, I like watching Pigman. He's a total douche bag, but when he hunts i find it pretty funny. I also, like all the jokes and pranks he pulls on his dad.

Im not saying I make it a point to watch his show, I have no idea when it comes on. I just catch it whenever and its pretty funny.

As far as "serious" hunting shows, no for the exact reasons you mentioned.

i feel the same way


I also miss the old Bill Dance, Fred Bear,etc. classic shows.

Another great show was Marty Stoufer's wild America although not a hunting show.

this

Some of these guys act like idiots when they shoot/arrow an animal. These idiots are producing more hunter/gun hate in the US then anything else.

Bill Dance is the sole reason I got into bass fishing. That clumsy arse just needs a P&G hat and I'd be happy

I watched a pretty good turkey hunt with mike Waddell the other day. Some guys are just way mor entertaining to watch. If you're some lame arse old dude with no sense of humor, I'm changing the channel.

Major league bow hunter is actually a damn good show

Also like buck commander and wild game nation when they actually hunt.

Watching realtree outdoors brings me back to my younger days.

This. High fences, spoiled attitudes, Nugent with his constant politicking. They're all the same now.

I like watching Drury Outdoors. That's about it.
