[:@] So I turned off the golf during a commercial and went to Outdoor Dreams. These TV hunting shows are just getting to be too much for me. Honestly, now they have a 10 year old narrating and selected as the "Star of the Show". Probably also the next "Expert". There's nothing less hunting than seeing a 10 year old trying to whisper with a cross bow in hand sitting in a stand over bait. If he said it once he said it 10 times, "BOY OH BOY". "BOY OH BOY". They have these shows trying to be so politically correct that I'm really getting sick of them. IF it's not a kid in a box it's a blonde bimbo that's over bowed or a handicapped person or something. It no longer is, "Let's go hunting America". It's now a parade of PC "Instant Experts" that may have killed a couple animals. Can't we please just have a few ordinary guys in a tree with a real bow, without bait and not pushing Scent Lok as their main strategy. Let's get back to once in a while having a real hunting show. "Boy oh Boy", we don't need a 10 year old expert tracking a bear with a loaded cross gun on camera giving us a blow by bow in a whispered voice that no one can understand. And why do these people continue to whisper after the animal is dead 50 yards away? Back to the golf. Tiger is ripping them a new butt. Up 7 with 4 or 5 holes to play.

Just saw WKP's "Beyond the Kill." Great video. I think it would fit your real guys in treestands criteria
and it was just well done.
Of course this could and probably will be viewed as puckering up by some cause HNI was involved,
but it was great not to hear about 50 different products during a hunt and to see and identify with
the success and failure and just generally enjoy the woods.

RE: Boy oh Boy... Boy oh Boy
DM hit the nail on the head! I live in Denver and they are so politicaly correct it makes me want to puke! My opinion on this subject has been quickly changing. I never thought I would say David Mill was right about anything!!!
I know what he was talking about when he mentioned handicap hunters.He might not have said it right but he didn't mean anything bad and I know he doesn't have anything against them! It's just the political correctness and the lack of real hunting.(when I say real hunting, I mean the averageJoe after an animal, not what makes the show politicaly correct)I was watching a show in the last couple of days, that there was so many bucks on the field they actually had to wait on a doe for the kid to shoot.

Well, I have to agree for the most part. I rarely watch hunting shows on televison any more, though I did catch a couple of decent elk hunting shows last week. Without a doubt many of the shows have become portrayals of the personalities of the hunters and their guides, some trying to be comedians, some wanting to be cute.[:'(] Fewer and fewer of these shows are teaching anything at all except how to give proper high fives, backslaps, and handshakes.

You know what?? I don't like soap operas, so I don't watch soap operas..no one makes me watch soap operas, so I turn the channel. I guess I should watch them and then go on the soap opera froum and tell them why they suck!
