re: TV Hunting Shows

These are the reasons I don't watch hunting shows. In this order:
1) Cut In Shots: When the camera cuts away from the action to show a close up cut in of the finger knocking off the safety and closing around the trigger. It makes me throw up in my mouth.
2) The Fake Camraderie: If I have to hear: "My good buddy" or "man, this is great fellowhip" or anything like that for the 27,000th time, I will turn it off. Sitting around the fire. Picking the guitar. Michael Waddell is the absolute king of that cheesy crap.
3) Fixing Dinner/Driving Down the Interstate/Getting Bags from the Airport/Driving up the Driveway. Unless you are going to Inner Mongolia where the trip is actually most of the point, then it adds nothing. Like, I don't want to hear about your 14 hour drive from West Point, MS to NW Kansas. I know. You think it makes you hard core. It doesn't.
4) Them taking a 127" whitetail on Day 5 of a 5 day hunt, just to get a kill on camera, and then acting excited about it.
5) The shot of the deer laying on the ground from the angle behind the deer. But pretending that the guy is just walking up on it for the first time. That's awful.
So, yeah. This response sort of got away from me. I pretty much hate everything about hunting shows.
But like the OP, I enjoy seeing new terrain, and exotic animals. Considering all of the above, Jim Shockey probably does the best job for my taste. Which of course won't be everyone's cup of tea.

Nope, you nailed it. Vast majority are promoting the lodge/outfitter/product over focusing on the actual hunt. They're glorified infomercials.

Bone Collector has never really bothered me. I like it more than most, but partly because of that cheesy stuff and the locations they hunt. I mean, that fellowship is what hunting is all about. If you can't share it with friends and family, then what is it?
I liked Realtree Roadtrips before it basically became Bone Collector v2. I can't stand Crush, mostly because of the crappy music, and Lee's voice is just fricking annoying!! Primos is another one I like.
As for the whispering...I like it. I mean, they are sitting in a tree stand. The emotion you get there when he misses a deer or hammers a big one is so much better than anything he can muster in a voice over recorded hours or days later.
