Outdoor shows-another option

There is another option that blows away the infomercial type hunting shows on the network. The cinematography and story telling is second to none. These artists are both professional and amateur. Some of the content is free on YouTube and Vimeo. We all love a good millennial poke, but some have a self promotion perspective that puts hunting in a very positive light, and captures the true highlights of hunting.

Just a sample, but there is a ton more.

Appreciate this!

Pappy once said: i'd rather be hunting but a wise person realizes by working can afford ta hunt ...

The "Sheep Shape" video series is pretty darn good.

Yes unfortunately Rick Carone passed last week, he lost his battle to cancer

Wow. Very sad to hear that.

I have just about quit watching hunting shows , there all getting to be the same . 30 min show consist of wanna be funny guys ,driving on the hiway, there face in the camera while in the tree instead of on the animal and woods ,and everyone of them trying to come up with there own trademark air punch and killdance . just plain sickening !!!! sorry for the rant !!

I got tired of them 10 years ago and had family producing one even, they lost what they had in the old Fred Bear and a few other great classic shows, iirc Curt Gowdy (sp) even narrated a few?

I get it 100%, why I'm letting you know there are some really good alternatives! Even the amateur ones are pretty good.

Dennis, For a little reliving the past of filmed hunts, the Fred Bear hunts library is on YouTube. The man had style.

Yes sir, those old shows where nice AND without all the overbearing music..

I don't get the channel anymore, but Pheasants Forever put out a nice show, "The Flush" maybe it was called. Like a Texas Country Reporter kind of feel. Really nice.

By the way. Full Draw Film Tour The Full Draw Film tour will be in Austin this weekend.

Interesting, my Producer, Brian Hawkins has worked with Texas Country Reporter for over 30 years...
Adios,
Gary

"The Flush" is on the Outdoor Channel. It definitely does have that Texas Country Reporter thing going for it.

I've not had cable in about 7 years.

With my Amazon fire stick I can watch YouTube on my tv, the quality of hunting shows on YouTube surpass that on outdoor channel.

Mera Safar - vimeo via mike axelrad. It's a good one

Randy newburg
Born and raised outdoors

Then tons of real amatuer films just type in a search.

I'm planning on making it let me know if you get it worked out.

For sure!

Man I'd like to make that too but gotta a trip planned with wife then (do those with wife before and after hunting seasons) but if that falls through I plan to go.

Both Great Shows!

If I can get things moved making the wife go!!!

Thanks.

Randy's just put his NM elk hunt with Corey Jacobson on YouTube . It's 7 parts. Uncut and No commercials is very nice

Yeah they worked for that.

Think it was 9 parts though.

Ya it was a long series

Come on September!!!

Good one just released today the linguist --

Good winter BC OTC Mountain Goat hunt.. has some cuss words

I like "The Mountain Project" videos on YouTube. So much better than the broadcast shows...

For sure, never hurts having a Texas Boy also. I’m looking forward to the desert buff hunt.

Aside from Steve Rinella and Jim Shockey I would be absolutely ok with all other hunting shows going away. It’s having a negative impact on the sport IMO and people are just into it for self promotion.

As mentioned before, way too many wanna be comedians, way too much windshield commentators, way too much overselling of the hunt.


I can’t stomach it anymore. I used to love the old TTHA shows with Jerry Johnston and a few others but now most are just terrible.

YouTube, I cut cable. The video I just posted is a DIY goat hunt in BC. They did a great job. It’s actually almost too good for YouTube

I like Remi Warrens channel on YouTube.

I’ve seen a bunch on YouTube that are ok but it’s still people that are glory seekers.

I do enjoy Randy newberg though

Sorting through is annoying but once you find some good ones it’s easy to subscribe and get regular content with out having to search.

YouTube has a bunch of good ones. Some are a little weak, but by and large even those are much better than the hunting shows on TV. Some are absolutely top notch.

Heck just doing without the product junk and yuk-monkey stuff already puts 90% of them ahead of the game.

Saw Michael Waddell go on a rant/lecture about other hunting shows becoming all about products, killing stuff just to make show, ”fakey” stuff, etc. Lol I was like “Say what???” to the TV. He’s a nice enough guy and better than many, but he made his name knocking down whitetails while acting a fool for the camera, hawking product, and was basically one of the pioneers of the commercialization of hunting. Give me a break, dude....

That particular show was about his family and their annual hunt on their place in Georgia. That was his platform for the lecture, “hunting for all the right reasons”, blah blah........
Then why are we all seeing your private family memories being made on national TV while you hawk a bunch of product?

I liked the monster buck series from way back when in the 90’s. They were pretty ok to me as a 12 year old

I agree. The Flush is well done.

The first shows (Wensels, Monster Bucks, Primos) were novel and cool back then. Nowhere else could you see such videos with such regularity. I looked forward to the Monster Bucks videos every year. So I am not without fault.

Sadly, over time, it has slowly turned into what we see today.

They are entertainment, they are filmed to entertain and sell advertising time.
