As a hunter, do things ever bother you on some hunting shows?

I hate it when they run up to a dead deer and start taunting it. Wtf, trash talking a dead deer? I was watching something the other day and this dude kills a mule deer and he's running around, selling it to the camera, then runs up to the deer and repeatedly yells, "We got you!" It was closer to a World Series celebration than an I just killed a deer celebration.

I can understand being excited about killing one that you've been hunting for a while, but damn, have a little respect for the sport and be thankful you have the opportunity to hunt.

All of them? Seriously, what you described happens in 90% of them. I hate it. Uncle Ted may be the worst, with all the false "honoring" of the animal he just wacked.

My biggest issue is watching "hunters" shoot near/around feeders like it is a big deal. Hell, what animal ain't easy to kill if you offer it a meal?

I saw the exact same video and had the same feelings, thats not hunting, thats just shooting

At least when you hunt deer and rabbits w/ dogs you have to take a running shot

I saw this hunt on LA Sportsmen website.

I read the comments and everybody was giving her props for the hunt.

I didn't think so. And I left a message saying I wasn't impressed. It was not a big deal, and I felt bad for the cat.

That bitch can suck it for shooting that big cat that way, and anybody else who thought that hunt involved "skill."

I agree. Hunting shows pretty much suck and are wonderful propaganda for the anti-hunters. I generally don't watch them. Plus, half of the morons on these shows are terrible shots.

Also, there is absolutely NO REASON to shoot a mountain lion unless your life or property is in danger.

Exactly. The "If it's Brown, it's Down" and "If it Flies, it Dies" bumper stickers don't help our cause, either. They make us look like a bunch of stupid, blood-thirsty rednecks.

Sounds pretty shitty....never understood why you would kill a ML, Lion, Elephant, or any other game like that.

As long as they arent attacking your cattle or kids....but some people like seeing it

I'll still watch a few shows but have been turned off to them recently due to just being jealous In the real world every hunter doesn't have access to 100k+ dollars worth of farm equipment, 1k acres of land and the ability to farm it and turn it into a haven for deer.

Only shows I watch now are Bone Collector, The Crush, Duck and Deer Commander. Watch these shows for entertainment value only. I dont really see many shows now that have education attached to them. The show with Stan Potts, QDMA was pretty good. Problem I have with a lot of shows is that they make me feel like a terrible sportsman if I kill a 2 1/2 year old buck.
