Ok saw I just watched Larry Weishuhn , Trailing The Hunters Moon. I've always liked him but now he's WAY big time.

I just saw him kill $10,000 worth of whitetail bucks , he looks like a Nascar race car with product advertising everywhere, it was raining, he was sitting on the ground under a perfectly dry tower blind hiding behind a piece of plastic which looks like a big piece of Oak Tree bark, which he's a "pitchman" for.

The guy has killed more deer than I have seen, I guess my question is, does he, or who pays for these hunts? Who pays for all his trips around the world, some $50,000+ hunts.

I'm not say his or any hunting TV show are bad, I enjoy them and wish I was on them and YES, I buy some of the stuff I see advertised, so, did I just answer my own question in a round about way?? I pay for his hunts??? confused2

My little telephone co-op cable provider made that decision for me; placed the Outdoor channel with the Sports package that I'm not gonna pay for. Life goes on. I somehow manage to still hunt and kill things. grin

I would imagine that the majority of his hunts are donated by the ranch/outfitter. It's advertising for them.

I much prefer watching YouTube clips by amateurs. Hardly ever watch slick advertising shows any more.

I've just about stopped watching them. I'm tired of watching them kill 120-30" deer and trying to hold it to look like a monster saying its a 170...... CMON!

I'm getting tired of the bow hunters taking bad angle 47 yard shots and saying 'It might have been a little back.' Yeah, if you consider the ham a 'lil back'.

And leave them over night in 70 degree weather or the song dogs eat them. I like Fresh Tracks with Randy Newberg which is hunting as it should be on public land spot and stalk. rifle

See that all the time. Then they don't try to find it until after dark followed by, "lets come back tomorrow and look for it."

Too much talking and BS on the hunting shows to watch any of them for more then a few minutes. Mostly I just click on them when a commercial is annoying me on another channel.

Larry Weishuhn is very good at scaring deer with his pistol. I haven't seen him hunt with a pistol on a tv show in several years though.

Landowners usually let these guys hunt for free because it is good advertising for them and their ranches.

I think they usually find it that night, but by then it has gotten dark enough that they can't get good video, so that come back when the lighting is better.

Smells of wastage to me.

You hear "I hit him back" quite a bit on the hunting shows I watch. I think these guys are under pressure to get a kill on camera, and this forces them to take marginal shots.

Any recommendations on good hunting Youtube channels?

I've met Larry and a nicer guy you will never meet. That said, I don't watch his show or any hunting shows anymore for the reasons above and others.

Yeah some of the crap shows do bite. But it beats the heck out of most of the garbage aired on the television anymore. At least the shows I dvr give me something to watch in the evenings after work between weekends when I'm actually out there in the woods for myself.


I work hard, drink a little and hunt when I can.

They all suck IMO! Nothing like watching ANOTHER bow hunt in Illinois.. Anyone with a camera believes they're the next Jim Shockey. Just the names of these show's alone makes me LMAO!! The only one I watch from time to time is Meat Eater.

Red Arrow?
Blood Line?
Hallowed Ground Outdoors?
Legends of the Fall????
"The Takedown"??? LMFAOOOOO

Got a question for group. Is it standard training to sling rifle over shoulder like the PH in Africa soon as you land...but stateside they use the sling when they get home? That cracks me up watching some US tourist follow the PH and play monkey see monkey do.

I am on board with what you guys have already stated. I too won't pay for the next package up to get the Outdoor Channel. The one show I liked (and I would watch all of them), was Eastman's Hunting. Those guy hunt the way it's meant to be, in big country, spot and stalk. I know many of us can't do that, but I liked the fact that they were very unassuming guys and did many of their hunts on public land. Just my 2 cents
