I'll start by saying I have been watching this series for about 6 years. I really like it.

But lately I must admit I'm kinda disappointed in some of these new people they are adding on the show. For example the Byers couple on the main show..... I thinking makes the show look shotty. And there were a couple more episodes I thought this about. I just can't think of them off the top of my head. Anyone else notice this or think this?

I used to learn about some things on the show but lately I'm having a hard time relating to their type of hunting.

 

[Kaiser878]

Its turning into another hack show IMO. haven't been impressed lately.

 

[bowhunter1023]

Agreed. That new couple doesn't impress me. For me, it started with the dissolution of the state shows and creation of the regional show. I enjoy some of the content now, but it was much better in 2008-2012.

 

[Kaiser878]

I mean seriously. Guys wounding deer with 30-06s. Does being shot with ARs. I mean next they will start dumping tinks 69 and using the can call. Its slowing deteriorating in production.

 

[Boarhead]

Yep not as good as it use to be.

I've given up on nearly every show. A new favorite of mine is raised hunting. Good stuff

 

[moundhill]

I used to watch it online every once in a while. Now I just watch HB online and that is it. No other show captures what hunting is, and should be in my opinion.

 

[Fullbore]

I always liked Bill Winke's show and hunting publications. To much of a good thing usually turns bad?

 

[Huckleberry Finn]

I religiously watched it when it was the state shows, now not so much. I could care less about watching a New Jersey buck get killed.

Not sure I have seen it recently. That is a shame to hear. Very few hunting shows teach you much anymore. Not that any of them "teach" a lot, but I like hearing explanations of why they are doing something or their strategy/tactics. Sitting in a blind/stand and shooting deer while painting with broad strokes of the brush comments like "this is why we manage our properties" or "these food plots are really drawing them in" isn't a learning experience to me. Tell me why you planted the plot where you did. Tell me what changes to the property you made to "manage" them. Explain why your stand is where it is. Don't just make generic statements.

I wish I had the time and money to make a show. I wouldn't kill shit. But it would be funny. Haha

 

[Kaiser878]

I agree Taylor. I think I could make one hell of a entertaining show

I still watch it but I only watch the EAST SHOW.

I have met Jason Huntsman (host of EAST show), and he is a really good person! I know he hunts hard, and doesnt have access to land like some of the main guys in IOWA do.

Overall I think its a pretty good product, but I can only speak to the EAST show.

Hands down the best Online show is Growingdeer.tv Dr. Grant Woods does pimp some products but not that bad. I have also written to him on facebook and things with generic questions about land mgt. He will respond, and give great adivce, tips, etc. I highly suggest this show everyone on this site. They normally do trapping episods, burn episods, food plots, stand placement, ageing deer, etc.

hope this helps some!

I have also thougt this same thing myself. I would never kill a big buck on film haha but I bet I would be entertaining. Just dont have the time to put into it, espically for what you will get out of it. (most of the time)

 

[bigten05]

Always liked that show and HB also like major league bowhunter. But most shows are crap pimping products more than the hunt itself. I found out that nick Mundt killed a big one on a place we lost this past summer due to leasing. Hoping to get it back this year because the guy that leased it wasn't suppose to bring anyone but him and his wife there.

 

[Big_Holla]

I always enjoy Bill Winke's video blogs and his portion of the shows. Still seems to have a lot of useful information coming from him. I agree on the newcomers to the show, some of the stuff I just fast forward through.

I am with you. I am thinking TOO could give Benny Spies a run for his money.

Well he was hunting with brad snow. So I assume brad snow was the leaser. He owns kill in bucks outfitters.
