Wow, you learn something everyday - I had no idea there were hunting shows on television.
If you want to learn to hate doing something you love,try doing it for a living.
Yeah on our Lease we named a few for identification purposes. The Big 8, Loppy, the Twins. Only one we took last year was the Big 8. The Twins disappeared and Loppy showed up on Cam after the season.I don't have a problem with naming deer to use as a reference when your trying to explain to your hunting buddies which deer you are talking about. I've done that. It's kind of like naming a tree stand. It just makes it easier to tell someone about the "Big Oak" stand vs saying " ya know that one stand over in the corner of that one field". I do believe that in the hunting shows it gets a little out of hand and I see that manifested in the younger generation when they talk about bucks they've seen. There seems to be a tendency to name everything "hercules" or "ba donk a donk". No thank you. Kinda reminds me of the end zone dance! But that's a rant for another day.
Shame. The pressure to perform has screwed up many a person.I echo what others are saying about hunting shows. I just don't find anything about them interesting. Wish I did. And I wish there were shows that covered all aspects of the wonderful world of deer and habitat mgt. Used to like Chuck Sykes but don't see him anymore...not that I look.
I did host Ralf and Vikki. Cirincurella SP??? from the Archers Choice down to my ranch once and will confess I found them delightful and funny. Was good experience though there will be no more TV shows hosted by me anymore.
There is no doubt that we could make an amazing hunting show based on the activity of this forum. Keep it grounded in reality. Pick the most popular property tour threads and give each owner/forum poster an episode. It could include habitat improvement, food plot experiences, putting up fences, etc and maybe a 10 minute snippet from a hunt. People would watch that.
There would be only one rule - no screaming, shaking, fake crying, hollering, or anything of the sort after the successful killing of a deer. That part of these “hunting” shows is so off-putting.
Never had one of these televisions either. I hear there's fake news on there.I’ve never heard of this television website you speak of. Must not be any good.
