Rob- I saw the same show just a little bit ago, and the first thing that came to my mind was if they spent as much time scouting and planting food plots as they did practicing shooting, he may have made a better shot. I know it happens to everyone, but I agree, they should have talked about the shot more.
That's all I'm saying, talk about it, teach with it. I thought at least Lee would have talked about when he was "critiquing" the footage but he disappointed me too. He hyped up the work in the food plot, the videoing but not a word about the poor shot placement. It was terrible with a lucky outcome but they seemed to ignore that.

I see this alot! You see gut shots and they say man I made an awsome shot!! It makes me sick are they that stuck on there self? I have to laugh sometimes. Yea Rob whats wrong with admitting a bad shot when you find the deer so the people watching can learn? Its all about the kill anymore!

I think a lot of these people stretch their limits in an attempt to catch a shot on camera. Face it, they're average Joes taking a lot of long shots or rushing the shots when they get the go ahead from the camera guy. When I hear twang and it takes a2 or 3seconds for their lighted nock to come into view... it's a long ways. Plus, as was mentioned, they just aren't that good. How many times have we seen someone struggle to pull their bow back. I recall a couple films where someone helped. LOL If I made all the bad shots some of these people do, I would have quit long ago.[:'(]

This was pretty much what i thought when i saw the hit. I was left wondering if that deer really went down as fast as they made it out to. I literally cringed when he made the shot. I guess it's possible he caught a major vein, but in no way did it look like that shot should have been fatal as quick as they made it out to be. [:@]

Seen that show this afternoon and the first shot was way far back on that buck they called stickers then I think he over compensated on the next buck. The shot looked like it was in the brisket. Ted Nugent had that same shot and said he was very lucky to hitthat artery and showed the blood trail. On whitetail freaks they didn't even show the bloodtrail and the guy never mentioned once that he got lucky with a bad shot, if in fact they actually saw the buck go down. Who knows that buck might of had the .22 cal in back of its head.

About a month ago, I watched Nugent make a very bad shot on a hog, in which he stated it was a great shot on camera, after that they ran the hog down, (no telling how much time or distance), he had to finish the job with his 10mm. Most of these TV shows are the same. Very boring to me...
