YEA BUDDY!! you got that right Timber.I alwayse miss the part where she shows us how to properly field dress a big old buck,then hoist it,skin it, and debone it. A hottie like that- doing all of that,could have me buying her roses.On the other hand,she would probobly eat the roses.

RE: TV hunting shows.
I watch Getting Close every week. I think it is more entertaining than most hunting shows. It's not just yourboring "lets whisper for28 minutesthen shoot a deer" show. They add some funny stuff. And Tiffany, Smokin Hot! I record all the episodes on my DVR and have watched the one where they bow fished for flying carp several times. Thats so coolhow they shoot them in mid-air. Not to mention that Tiffany is in a bikini top.[:-]

I for one love the hunting shows. I like seeing deer and its even better when their big. It definitely gets me pumped up before season hits.
For those of you who complain that theyre hunting behind fences and on ranches, I ask you this. Would anyone enjoy watching 8 hours of some guy sitting in a deer stand, pissing in a bottle, watching 3-4 deer go by and maybe a squirrel. And after 2 weeks of that he finally kills a big buck. BORINGGGG!! Theyre tv shows an theyre meant to entertain, let them and quit picking them apart.

Sometimes I think they do more harm than good for our sport. And MOST of them are very unrealistic.

Another show had 2 guys in jeans and t-shirts walk 50 yds. from their vehicle, stood in a single spot blasting doves for some amount of time, then walk back to the vehicle talking about how good the hunting was. They never showed that they retrieved the birds leading anyone (including me) to believethat they never harvested them. It shows hunters to be lazy, wasteful and only out for the thrill of the kill!
A third had a "hunting expert and activist" on supporting the bill to allow dove hunting(which was defeated in Nov.). His platform to support the bill was that they are a migratory bird and other states do it, so we should too. If you want to win over the hearts and minds of voters, you need to provide sound reasoning and numbers, notget some idiot to ramble in front of a camera.
Some shows are good,most do more harm.

Like most folks here have stated, 20 minutes of commercials and roughly 10 minutes of actual hunting time.Seems that if you don`t use the products they are hawking, you just won`thave a successful hunt. Remember those old guys wearing jeans and an old red checkered jackshirt, usually using an even older Mod 94? They seemed to have pretty good luck without all the fancymodern amenities. Always seemed to be a lot colder then too.
