Why I hate hunting shows
« on: September 16, 2024, 11:06:10 AM »
Dish runs two free hunting channels in September.   I keep trying to watch but end up frustrated.   Nearly a non-stop commercial.  But how do you shoot a deer with a compound and only get partial penetratio ?
Rhetorical, I know.
Once in a while I see pass-throughs.
Heck, my 46# recurve pushes a 3 blade Snuffer through the rib cage.
I used to shoot compounds and killed a bunch.  Always with fixed blades and always pass-through.
I will.end .my rant now.

I was watching naked and afraid yesterday. There was a contestant parading around with a bow with like a 3” brace height. You would think he would try to educate himself a little before he started shooting at game

I gave up watching "hunting shows" years ago when they started becoming "shooting shows" five minutes of footage with 25 minutes of commercials.  Haven't missed it....

I was channel surfing and came across Fred Elicher.  The only thing I saw was his promotion of the new riser from Bear which bears his name.

I got rid of my satellite a few years ago so haven't had access to hunting shows for quite a while, but even then I didn't watch them. "Hunters" doing stupid stuff, nothing but infomercials, bad shots, etc.............  I couldn't stand to watch any of it.

The only hunting DVD videos I watch are Fred Bear, the Wensels, Paul Brunner, and the ones Roger Rothhaar are in. I have no interest in the TV hunting shows.

I watch Youtube videos instead of hunting shows these days.

Years ago, a friend called it "Hunting Porn".  I can't argue with that!  Even a minute or two is more than I can take.
