I went a while without cable then signed up. I only get the Pursuit Channel on my line-up, but I can view what's showing on the Outdoor Channel. Both channels look about the same except I see that for the next three hour the Outdoor Channel is running some 35 year old Mel Gibson movie. Is there really that big of shortage of quality outdoor programming? I want to watch hunting adventures when I watch TV, not someone trying to sell an armchair outdoors-man something he doesn't really need. Just had to vent a little; bout to unplug the entire thing.

What up next hour; spot-lighting deer? "My life is better than your vacation"

'If it flies, it dies" Etc... Jim Shockey is about the only one I watch anymore. I will gladly feast on those who would subdue me.

But what really bugs me is the lack of good picture quality from subpar video equipment being use to record the hunts. Also the people video taping not knowing how to video tape for tv. I watch hunting shows on the internet now mostly cause there are some guys that really put money, time, and effort into putting up a quality video rather than just a kill shot from 300 yards and a video camera that can’t zoom in far enough. Cold as ice!

They'll put a great shot on a buck, at 12-1-2 o'clock in the afternoon, and when they recover it, it's pitch black outside or the next day!

About 50 yards in front of the elevated box stand there was a tripod feeder - with a dozen or so deer under it. Just as the guy was about to shoot a decent buck out of the group, the automatic timer on the feeder went off and spooked the deer away. The guy turned his head to look into the camera and said, "well, that's huntin' I guess". That was the end of The Outdoor Channel for me.

Sorry but I don't think hunting a deer that's as people-friendly as a cow is hunting. And when the feeder goes off you see dozens of deer come running in Trapping is easy you say? You try getting your target animal to step in a 3 inch area of its whole territory.

Outdoor TV is going to make a major correction over the next couple years. Sponsor money is drying up and being spread too thin. The channels are going to have to adjust and probably a couple of them will die. Hundreds of wannabe TV stars have poured their savings into trying to become the next big star and finally they are realizing it doesn't work. Maybe there's an endless supply of suckers, but I doubt it. www.berniesbearcamp.com https://www.youtube.com/user/BowhuntingRoad/about

The Meat Eater show isn't bad either and then there's uncle Ted he's a kick just because . Many of the "Outdoor" shows instill with me pride in my shooting abilities the game animals I kill with recovery in minutes not after dark. Allan

What I don't like is walking down the aisles at the industry trade shows and seeing the companies signing the latest and greatest pretty face girl in tight camo pants, when some guys have worked hard for years to deliver good return on investment only to see the company they helped build start shipping paychecks to a blonde who hardly knows which end of an arrow to put the broadhead on. Hunting shows are just getting cheap and I'm not against women hunting at all, I'm just against the lack of good content. If all you're watching outdoor TV shows for is to see a pretty girl hunting, it's not sustainable and these companies are starting to find out that if they want to get a good return on investment, they better start spending their money on the shows that educate and entertain the masses. We need more hunters, especially skilled hunters that don't give us a black eye in the public like a lot of these yahoos and their bad English and their bad advice on these shows today. It will correct itself, and the companies along with the stations and shows who understand how to have longevity will survive. www.berniesbearcamp.com https://www.youtube.com/user/BowhuntingRoad/about

Lee and Tiffany are OK, Lee put in his time and made a gamble in life to quit a great paying job to pursue his passion. Good for him. With the success came the sponsors and with that came the dollars to buy primo farms in a super state. He now has great properties to hunt and is afforded the opportunity to do it full time, so on top of being a good hunter he can work on it 365 days a year. Good for him but not reality for most of us. T got turned off at an outdoor show when Waddell was there and people were lined up for 100 yards for his autograph, SAY WHAT? What the heck are you gonna do with that and why would you waste one second of your life waiting to get it? My buddy bought a video of name escapes me but a hottie and was excited she signed it. I said who the heck cares, you wasted your money and your time. "The more people I meet the more I love my dog!"

I couldn't stand her either but just to clarify, no one on this board is her target audience. Tweed said his daughter watched her and that is great. Young women need another woman to show them hunting. I applaud her efforts because she will probably do more to recruit hunter than most of us. waggler - Check out Randy Newberg on youtube.

He said Stan was a genuine great guy with a love for deer hunting. They still correspond to this day. My buddy killed a 130 and Stan came over to see it and was ecstatic for him. Said everything about Stan was genuine.

I don't like the ego involved most of all. Most look like they stepped out of a catalog too with all their new equipment. Ive been wearing the same camo sweater for about 10 years now.

Babe Winkleman was the last to go, and who can ever forget Virgil Ward and his superb theme song. Every kid needs a Dog and a Curmudgeon. Remember Bowe Bergdahl, the traitor. Beware! Jill Pudlewski, Ron Oates and Keven Begesse are liars and thiefs!

It looked like real thick cover except for the bush hog straight aways in front of the elevated box stands. Judging from the way the deer were scarfing down all of that corn, I am guessing "sendero" is Spanish for "bait pile". Or maybe, "bush hog trail".

I only get the Pursuit Channel on my line-up, but I can view what's showing on the Outdoor Channel. Both channels look about the same except I see that for the next three hour the Outdoor Channel is running some 35 year old Mel Gibson movie. Is there really that big of shortage of quality outdoor programming? I want to watch hunting adventures when I watch TV, not someone trying to sell an armchair outdoors-man something he doesn't really need. Just had to vent a little; bout to unplug the entire thing. Um,..Waggler,.no need to hamper yourself searching for the ultimate adventure,..you're there already! I like Mel Gibson
