Beyond the hunt and Ridge reaper. Can't recall the one with two Colorado state troopers that bow hunt, haven't seen them for a while.

I think a lot of the problem is that it is a business. I bet they would all rather just hunt, but when you have to pay to be on the outdoor channel, they have to come up with the money from sponsors.

I have Dish and get two channels of hunting shows. The only times I turn them on is when I'm doing something else and will watch without the volume on. I find the talking to be annoying and meaningless. Better to have music playing in the background, or total silence. I don't have a favorite, or know of any of their names.

Live 2 Hunt (they work their butts off to kill some big deer)

And while I don't care for their current shows, and their EARLY stuff was pretty good, I'll admit I've learned a lot watching some of the Drury shows over the years.

Also, there was a good B-rated show several years back called "Closing the Distance" that was great. Outside of them pumping their no-name deer urine sponsor, they actually got out there and hunted.


i like winke too, i like the shows that explain their process and dont just show them in a stand killing things. MLB is good about showing failures and misses too.

closing the distance was good, havent seen it in a while. they had a good one about a huge deer killed around college station.

canadian whitetail television is good, they kill huge deer up there.

As mentioned above Canadian Whitetail TV is a good one .... I am always amazed at how pretty those Canadian bucks are....they bow hunt a lot on that show so you get to see the deer in their early Fall coats.....the huge bodies and bright white throat patches on HUGE necks are really something else.

The nice thing about Winke's Midwest Whitetails is that you can view it on the web. Winke is not only a good hunter but a really nice guy.

I guess I have a different perspective. I don't want to hear about the "good times in the woods with family" when I watch a hunting show. I want to see animals die (bucks, ducks, does, pigs, all of it) and the tactics that lead to the kill. If I wanted to know about the "good times" I'd go to deer or duck camp myself and have a good time.

Meateater, Roger Raglin and Eastons Hunting Journal, no particular order.


How come everybody I meet is a deer hunting expert?

Agreed, I get tired of all the love and sacrifice stories associated with the hunting. Go hunting and kill stuff, we all got issues.

Relentless pursuit
Pigman
Arrow Affliction was cool while Braket was doing the show... think hes back with it.
Heartland aint bad.
RNT
Sasquatch is different but not bad at all plus Laramy is just a good ole hand that likes to hunt and knows what hes doing.

good bit of others.... iv always enjoyed watching hunting shows not all of them but I can remember watching Wadel missing a giant buck at 7yrds a loooooong time ago right when he popped up with realtree.

I also remember one of the first shows I bought was on a video tape lol wish I could remember the guys name but he was always putting down some giants from texas, Kansas, Oklahoma, etc. Would always be just sitting by a tree with a smoke pole or bow and rattle bucks in close.... one I remember the most was a giant in Kansas he shot at 10yrds or something like that with a ML...in a big hollow draw.. deer was huge.

wisco-hunter used to like The Wardens but doesn't any more.....

Seriously, they really seem to go easy on the hunting violators on that show.

Cant stand them. I don't care for the editing and music. I don't care for the marketing. I don't like hearing so check this out every 3 seconds.

I do not like that the last time I watched hunting shows because I couldn't find anything else on I watched three deer get shot and every single one of them was left overnight. If you cant get it together any better than that you either need to hang it up or quit hunting afternoon/evening hunts.

I despise hunting shows.

We watch a good number of them just because it's better than network tv. Partial to Bone Collectors for one reason...those guys came in town a few years back to open up the Cabelas store. On their way, they went out of the way to stop by Children's Medical Hospital and drop in and visit my son who had been in there for 2 months. I missed the visit, but my wife said my son's mouth was moving for 5 minutes before any words came out! Needless to say my son's spirit jumped off the charts! Needless to none of the nurses had a clue who they were.

Uncharted with Jim shockey and occasionally ridge reaper are about the only two I watch. I always record tv shows though as I have a distaste for commercials like many others.

I record PigMan to watch, but that's about it.

Although not TV, I've started watching these. There's not much infomercial to it... just raw footage of hunting... plus I can watch whenever and fast forward... https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJzKeGgsLwMfI90kcr-aI9A

Quit watching most of them altogether, most if not all are fake and share no message about management. Mainly because I'm a biologist by trade, so this is a year around gig for me. Its hard to get excited anymore. But Meat Eater is pretty good, and has some value- enjoy the hunt and your surrounding its not all about the kill.
