RE: Whitetail Freaks
I think just about every "show" is not what the average joe experiences. IMO it's these types of programs thatare ruining hunting. Kids and new hunters are learning that what they see on TV is the norm and is what to be expected.[:'(]
I would not call in envy however. What I see on TV is not what I want my children to experience.............

Watch what you want, like who you want. But they aren't for me. Don't act like they're the average hunter, cause they're not. As for the Lakosky's, one day she's a stewardess on a plane, never hunted a day in her life. She marry's Lee, and BANG! She's a "Professional Hunter". They bought their way into it. Lee has said it himself. They bought their farm for 1 reason only, to make a T.V. show. They aren't farmers. They just had enough cash to become professional hunters. And what real farmer converts giant tracts of his land over to deer food plots, not to harvest and sell crops. The day they did that was the day they became professional hunters who own a farm.

I would love to see shows where they get dumped off in public land for a week with no knowledge of the area. Only topos, some basic scouting and some arse busting skills to get the job done. Sad thing is most people want to see a show where some "Genetic Monster" gets taken while they pass up numerous smaller guys. I agree most shows are not real hunting but its the viewers that have ruined that by watching the shows that do this.

Agreed, there are better ones to watch, but the Drury's are FAR from the "average guy" hunter out there, regardless of what their videos portray. I like watching them, they are very good at what they do.

TV is about one thing - ENTERTAINMENT. Nobody watches the WNBA because they don't dunk and put on a show like the guys in the NBA do. AA baseball isn't on network TV because guys aren't jacking 450' home runs or making spectacular fielding catches. And our Thursday night 16" slow pitch softball team, made up of a bunch of "average joes" isn't on TV because nobody would care enough to watch us except maybe our moms. Hunting TV is no different than any other TV program. Deep down in our heart of hearts we want to see big bucks and people who are successful and good and doign what they do.
Lock the thread.
