How about BC tattoos? See them all the time and it is all I can do not to yell "DOUCHE"!!!
I don't watch any hunting shows other than Midwest Whitetail, Major League Bowhunter and Heartland Bowhunter. Those 3 are easily the best shows on TV. I was a Drury fan boy for a long time, but their stuff is over produced since Matt got involved IMO. The rest of the hunting world is hard for me to tolerate now. My idols have certainly changed since I first started bowhunting in 2000. Now my biggest hunting idol is Dan The Man! And maybe Mountaineer... lmao
I don't watch a ton of big game hunting anymore buy IMO Jim Shockey is one of the best there is. If I were out in the wilderness somewhere he's one guy I'd definitely want to have with me. The dude knows his shit and his shows aren't gimmicky and cliche like so many others.
These days I prefer to watch waterfowl hunting shows. There are a lot of douches in that realm as well, but seeing ducks and geese get shot in the face never gets old for me.

OMG! I have not seen a tat yet. I would probably have to giggle uncontrolably right in his face!! I thought the stickers and whatnot were bad, but a tat? WOW! Just WOW!
Seen 3 so far. One is a nurse that works with Tracie and brags about poaching deer in WV and OH. Kills more than one buck in OH according to Mr. BC Doucher himself. The wife wants me to go paint balling with him. I think that's both a great, and horrible idea! Frozen paint balls anyone? lmao
I liked Waddie when it was realtree roadtrips.....was a down home guy. Now it seems he is plastered everywhere. Can't blame the guy for making momey, but it gets old after awhile. I enjoy anything with Shockey in it. I don't get to watch much tv since nursing school takes everything of me right now, but I will watch him if it's on.

this guy has ruined the Drury bros, he cant shoot worth a piss, and acts like a jackass! I still like Mark and Terry prob just been a fan for so long, I cant get myself to hate something I have watched hours and hours of.
Years ago when The Outdoor Channel began, I was fixated on pretty much all. Anymore, it's all ho hum. Too many are out pimping something, and it's all edited, which is going to happen, but I prefer to get my kicks from ordinary guys posting their stuff on YouTube.

funny you say that. My best friend and roomate isnt a hunter, although he has helped me hang more stands than most hunters hahah, he was watching the outdoor channel with me, and says " is this just all 1 big commercial?"
Interesting from an outside perspective as well!
I was like Kevin. When I first got the outdoor channel it was non stop deer shows on tv. I can't remember the last time I flipped by that channel now. Used to like the Drury shows and Waddel's road trips as well. Road Trips was entertaining when they had guys like Blake
Shelton on there and stuff. But that T-Bone douche ruined that show for me.
Those guys on the Primos shows are annoying as all hell too. The one looks like the pig guys in Return of the Jedi and they just laugh and carry on like jackasses when they shoot something. Makes us look like idiots as hunters.
Yeah, I don't watch that stuff anymore.

It is really a shame what hunting is turning into. It has turned into nothing but a competition between hunters for the biggest deer and the best equipment. Better equipment means bigger deer is what a lot of these guys are brought up learning. I see so much money wasted on the dumbest things. A man can kill a 160" buck with 2 pieces of wood and a flannel shirt and blue jeans just like a man can kill a 160" buck with a 320fps bow with mechanical broad heads and 2 rangefinders and 8 pins on his bow and scent block camo and scent killer sprayed all over himself over a pile of buck jam.
Is there anything wrong with the guy with all of the equipment? No. But will he ever be as good of a hunter as the one who does it without all of the un nessacary equipment in his pockets? No I do not believe so. He couldn't have put himself in the right spot to catch that buck cruising for does or a pinch between some bedding and food. because he was not taught that. He was taught to hunt Foodplots and bait piles because it is one easier and 2 more effective and 3 that is how he learned on tv. I am not bashing compounds rangefinders mechanical heads bait piles Foodplots or scent killer because I know they are helpful tools and I have nothing against them. I just wish some folks would learn to hunt and not rely so much on all of the aids. Hunting has turned into a big commercial. If you turn on the outdoor channel it is 99% of the time a commercial or a soap opera in camo. Show us the real deal. I wish I had the money time and cameras to put a show out that was the real deal. But 80% of the "hunters" would not get it or watch it because I would hardly kill anything lol.

My backwoods cousin must have gotten one of these channels recently. He lives in western NC. He could probably out hunt most of the TV guys. I know he could honestly live off the land. He is coming up first week in November to hunt with me. He is pumped because he has been waiting a long time to "hunt Ohio". Talks about the TV guys hunting Ohio and this buck and that. I keep prefacing to him "this isn't the norm. Most of these guys are on highly controlled land." I want to give him a good experience. Not sure what will happen. Just goes to show how the TV shows can skew one's perspective. Especially so if they are used to seeing deer the size of my dogs. I will be happy if I can get him a doe to take home for his freezer. He claims the same thing. I hope he means it. A doe for the freezer isn't even guaranteed, let alone a monster buck.
