Why I hate hunting shows

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.

I had a subscription to "My Outdoor TV" and I just cancelled it after I realized I hadn't watched anything in over 6 months. The only show I liked was Wild Fed by Daniel Vitalis but it was so radically different than 99% of the content that it sort of confirmed my decision to leave. I think he moved his show elsewhere too.
I think what did it for me was trying to get away from the hunting-porn shows and searched for muzzeloader content, but the first show I watched was killing 5 bucks in 25 minutes with no time at all devoted to technique or the land around them or anything - it was really gross. The Hunting Public or Jason Samkowiak or Robert Carter on YouTube is the right speed for me. -K
