When over 85% of the show is commercials and some of the shows have 7+ sponsors, I have to go somewhere else for entertainment. I am patiently waiting for the day that TTH publishes an article about some guys that sleep in a tent, hunt low fence and kill a 6 point that scores 90 points.

BMD - your daughters articles and hunts are real and awesome. I killed a 201 low fence deer in 2009 and was featured in a TH magazine article. I have subscribed for years. But the public and customers rule and there is no denying that the magazine has changed and the perception is it has become a breeder/HF publication. Right or wrong that is the perception so that becomes reality

Exactly.

No HF articles? How many articles are there about regular joes that don't make 250k per year? How many articles were there that weren't on a paid for hunt on a big [censored] ranch?

Articles more advertisement not, the articles are majority about regular joes but the perception is hf due the advertising. But you already have it perceived the other way so no way are you going to change your mind.

Starting to think only a few people read on this thread.... How much clearer can I be?

9 this month with two articles about deer taken from under 80 acres places.

Only one article was a paid/outfitted ranch...that ranch also leases pastures.

And the feature articles in Nov where a GW's deer(Grayson co) and a deer off a place in rains county...

Hummmm that kind of backfired didn't it... Ironically both also featured on THF....

No I don't guess it did. I quit getting the magazine years ago so I will admit that I guess I am WRONG. I got online and found an article about BMDs girl and that's the extent of my TTHs mag experience for several years now.

Maybe TTH should come out with a LF mag only and we wouldn't be questioning the pics and articles in the mag as much. That would probably clear things up. I know that sponsors help pay the bills, but I could do without all that flash too. You know big [censored] unpractical feeders, High dollar buggies, and deer that just don't hang out in my woods. They could keep it under 200 inches with an occasional non tip that breaks out of the 200 in mark. Ive got a friend that makes extra huntin money by guiding deer hunts on a high fence ranch. He sometimes tries to show me the bucks they kill in that fence and I say now you know I don't give a [censored] about those phoney [censored] deer. One time he said look at this 400 inch deer. I said that's some [censored]. He said, but he killed it with a bow. I said I don't give a [censored] how he killed it. I don't want to be around HF, look at HF stuff, and I don't want HF people looking at the deer killed because their brain is so throwed off they don't even know what real is anymore. The weird thing is that my friend doesn't even hunt high fence and is a die hard bow hunter. His biggest buck is a 127 inch 8 point. That's reality. Oh ya the guy that owns that ranch shoots deer in velvet with22 rat shot to grow bigger non tips, and also got arrested for smuggling out of state deer into Texas and mix breeding them. Sounds like a dirty world that the White Tail just doesn't deserve. My buddy that is a guide said its all about the money money money!

My point is that Ive seen enough dirty crap that goes on in the HF world that I cant even think about agreeing with any of it. So if I see a hint of HF in a magazine or video I don't want any part of it. If TTH magazine would start up a low fence only magazine it might turn some heads. Ive got another one for you. I know greentruck man that is in the administration portion of the state GWs. One day this HF dude pulled the GW over at a stop sign and got out and told the GW that he was fixing to get hammered by the state because he got caught artificially inseminating white tails with some exotic semen creating some form of beastly deer. The GW said I already told you that you couldn't do this and that you are going to get in trouble for doing it. He also said there is nothing I can do for you and you are in the wrong. This is another reason why I don't like HF. It wont be long and there wont be any natural native deer because of inner breeding and deer getting out of fences. Go south of San Antonio and this is probably already happened.

Actually some pretty good articles in there. What a lot of people forget is 90% of the articles are submitted by members like BMD's daughter, TLk, RTP, iluvbigbucks etc.

Well, everything I type is simply my opinion unless stated as factual. Sorry if anyone feels degraded.

There are a few shows I like too. But by and large, IMO, the crass commercialization of hunting is not a good thing. And hunting TV is a leader in the crass commercialization. IMO. It is changing what hunting used to be into something else. IMO. There is little about the true hunting experience that translates well on TV. IMO.

I stopped reading this due to the censered words. Kind of looses its point.

Don't know what else to say to editions = 20 articles and only one was a HF deer. On top of that majority where sub 150" deer.

I didn't step in jack. I never said the cover story was HF.

Defend TTHA all you want. I said they are not all bad. But they are and have been into the commercialization of hunting for at least 25 years. Period.

Argue all you want. Disagree all you want. Anyone that has been around and has paid attention knows that.
