More power to them. Sure they are having fun either way 
If I send my neighbors a text and ask them to give me feedback on my lawn and plant rye into a giant dong pattern, I'm probably going to get some less than positive feedback. Same goes here.

While I am in the hunting business and have a TV show, I will admit that there are very few I can watch. I do watch Eastman's Hunting, Boundless Hunting and of course, Carnivore. These are well produced shows with real hunters, no infomercials, tips of the week or kissing the wife "Bye" and going through the airport. Larry and I are very good friends and it is true that you will not meet a nicer guy. Adios, Gary

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. Fresh Tracks with Randy Newburg is a good one. I really enjoy Raised Hunting as well.

I like Shockey's stuff, Eastman's, and Randy Newburg's shows but that's about it. My good friend guided Larry Weisuhn on a W TX sandhills mule deer hunt several years ago, and all LW would do is ride around in the truck looking at water holes. He then wrote a story that wasn't necessarily reality. He did say he was a nice guy though, but lazy.
My good friend was also in whitetail camp with Waddell a couple of years ago in Saskatchewan. Waddell's first priority was seeing how many local girls he could screw...no wonder this loser has been divorced a few times already.
I mean, how many times can we watch some guy or girl sit in a tree stand around a green field, then tell us how hard they've been hunting?

I like Carter's W.A.R. Great cinematography/production. Shockey's stuff is solid too. Honestly I can watch most of them until they get stupid or start faking things. DVR is great for eliminating commercials.

Carnivore and Winchester World of Whitetail are good. Also, anything with Duncan Dobie is first class. Real Gentleman, and a great hunter. He should have his own show.

I much prefer watching YouTube clips by amateurs. Hardly ever watch slick advertising shows any more. Any recommendations on good hunting Youtube channels? All public land hunts by Randy Newberg. He's the real deal. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQOcUD2aFxEjc-_4JJBLYyg
You don't know what you don't know.........

More power to them. Sure they are having fun either way Nobody's worried about it. Just the public giving its opinions on hunters who display their wares in the public square of TV trying to make a profit. They put it out there - we have every right to share our opinions on it. Here's mine: the vast majority of them suck. Hunting really isn't made for TV, especially whitetail, turkey, and waterfowl hunting. I do like a few of the well produced western/worldwide hunting shows. And I'm not really sure they are enjoying themselves most of the time. My bet is most of them get as tired of going on the same Groundhog Day type hunts as many do of watching them. On a lot of them I can see the forced enthusiasm.
I learned long ago you can't reason someone out of something they don't reason themselves into.

I watch mainly for the locales in which the hunts take place. These are places I'll likely never visit and will most certainly never get to hunt. Watching someone else kill a deer from a stand doesn't do anything for me, especially when they act like they have just won the Super Bowl.

What are your thoughts on RAZOR DOBBS ALIVE show? I like him..a little over the top but not unbearable. Having said that I also like the Ted and spirt of the wild.....which is way way over the top.

For a given amount of money you too can have your own hunting/fishing/outdoors show on TV. Then all you have to do is round up your own sponsors.

Met some of them and seemed pretty genuine. Wish someone would pay me to travel around and shoot stuff. The better ones will survive the glut of shows and thank goodness for volume control and dvr. The number of commercials is just getting stupid

I like Craig boddington. I like Jim Shockey. I was reading their stuff way before they were tv stars. I haven't watched more than 5 min of a hunting show in the last 15 years. Too rediculous for me.
For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

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! The one that gets me is whitetail freaks. I swear they add atleast 20 inches to every deer they kill. I see their "170" and I just have to laugh and say no way
