Alot of the shows on TV erk me for a lot of reasons. It just seems that noone takes the time for editing or what they are filming. It has to be more of turn the camera on, hi im scuba steve, and we are at my place, here comes deer, shoot, then interview...To me thats boring, there has to be some sort of story, work on your camera angles, think about it before you hit the field. Its important stuf if you ask me. You have to have some kind of gameplan besides killing a deer or what ever.

totaly agree gecko, but gotta remember 90% of hunt a ranch which pretty much there plan is walk out and shoot a deer, well more along the lines of someones pet those deer are so used to having people there and around them all the time thats why these shows kinda get boring, thats why we need to have one dedicated to 100% fair chase, i mean yea you wont always get the animal everytime and every episode but hey u can see the mistakes made and actually see real hunting, not someone in camo shooting someones pet, plus its why they call it hunting and not killing, not gonna kill something everytime you go out, and jesse the major league show is awesome i like how they want people to learn from there mistakes and still teach new stuff

yes, they are boring. Even if you are high fence hunting, cant you put a little effort into it to make a story out of it? I guess i will find out when FAFD hits the big time...

Faith at Full Draw.....

Check it out. I thought everyone on here knew what FAFD was. We are a Christian Faith based hunting group that not only films hunts, but two of the guys speak at Wildgame dinners, and we just try to get the word out as much as possible, and hopefully help or turn someones life around in the process......and we like killing deer (alot!). I am extremely proud to be a part of it.

website is in my sig.

i think a good hunting show would be hunting public land, or even private land from somewhere in the hunters area of hometown, shoot a few does on one episode, a buck on the next, some turkey hunting, maybe a lil predator hunting, show what calls work, scents and attractants that actually work and not just cause you get paid 40,000 to mention there product, do reviews, stuff that us average everyday hunters look forward to, hunting a fenced in area isnt really a fair chase, do hunts without guides, hell two of my deer last year were shot without any camo any scent cover and had a chew in while i was hunting and both shots were under 40 yards. all of us each have a different way of hunting that works for us all, unlike hunting shows where they all have the exact same set up, story line, and location, we need a peoples hunting show. i cant say the hunters on tv aint hunters cause they went along way to get where they are now and are ten times a better shot then me by far, but i think tv gets to alot of them and forgets how it hunting in the real woods and not a fenced in piece of land. imo of course
