I guess Fred Bear was doing the same with his old videos

Not sure. I know the old Bear films showed he and his friends hunting together in Michigan. They were in camp fellowshipping and if memory serves me correctly, Fred killed smaller bucks.

Guess my point is, Bear’s work represented deer hunting in a very pure and simple form. After watching those old films I wasn’t thinking about camo or cameras or food plots. I just wanted to get a Bear bow and start hunting with my buddies.

So maybe filmed started the ball rolling

100%, but television more so than video or film. In 21 minutes every Hunter seemingly killed a P&Y deer, creating a less than realistic situation.

I have landowners now who have expectations of growing 150” deer that simply can’t be achieved no matter the amount of money and management thrown at it.
